1. A new type of armoured assault vehicle has been revealed.

A video news website linked with the PLA stated on Sunday that dozens of a new type of armoured assault vehicle had recently entered duty with a PLA Xinjiang Military Command unit deployed in a snowy plateau region at an elevation of more than 4,500 meters.

According to the clip, the eight-wheeled armoured vehicles come in a variety of configurations, including those with big calibre rifled equipment, autocannons, machine guns, and howitzer systems.

2. Newly delivered new-type, four-wheeled self-propelled howitzer.

A new-type, four-wheeled self-propelled howitzer was recently handed to a group that recently completed its first live-fire target practice deep in the Karakorum Mountains at an altitude of 4,500 meters, according to China Central Television (CCTV).

3. New self-propelled heavy rocket launchers have gone into service

In addition, a unit deployed in a snow-covered region at an elevation of more than 5,200 meters recently received a batch of new self-propelled heavy rocket launchers that are highly mobile, fast-reacting, highly accurate, very deadly, and jamming-resistant, according to a separate CCTV report on May 8.

According to Shanghai-based news website, the Type 08 armoured vehicle, a 122mm-calibre self-propelled howitzer that incorporates technologies from the PCL-181 155mm-calibre self-propelled howitzer, and the PHL-03 long-range multiple rocket launcher systems are the three new military equipment systems.

According to a Chinese military affairs analyst who requested anonymity, the PLA's high-altitude troops are gaining enhanced mobility and firepower by upgrading their arsenal with the latest military equipment systems, allowing them to better fulfill their missions in safeguarding the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Observers say the PLA Xinjiang Military Command has been commissioning a variety of modern weaponry during the last year. The command got the first batch of newly designed Type 15 light tanks in early 2021, according to analysts, which excel at rapid reaction fighting in plateau regions.

Official reports also reveal other new military equipment systems, such as the PLC-181 howitzer and third-generation Mengshi assault vehicles, according to eastday.com. According to analysts, these are developing a complete, modern ground warfare system that is particularly important for plateau battles.
