Backgrounder: to carry out diverse tasks and adapt to the information under the condition of large-scale operations as the background, the history of China’s largest airborne cross mobility is comprehensive training – “Airborne Tactical 2009″, kicked off October 18. This exercise, airborne troops full, full fitted out, including the authorities, under the jurisdiction of subordinate units and divisions, over 15,000 vehicles to more than 7,000 kits and equipment.

newspaper reporter tracking the “airborne mobile-2009″ exercises, airborne battle up close the equipment, all-round understanding of the airborne “18-like weapons.”

● paratroopers parachute, the armed wing umbrella, umbrella and other new investment and the performance of different things with the umbrella, so that airborne with a comprehensive, all-weather airborne combat capability

blue sky, warplanes roared passing clouds, followed by a blossoming beauty of parachutes in the air bloom … …

“Jiguang Heroes” Sir Sun Hongbo first from 1,200 meters above the ground landing. Before departure, the body by the hundred “jump” he told reporters: “10 years ago, when I just use the old army parachute, landing a great impact on the legs. Recruits for two months before the jump motor training ground every day on the platform and bunker ‘thump’ thump ‘jump-stop, everyone legs are swollen and consumption, eliminate the swollen’ three swollen three elimination, only the sky ‘ , is so shout out now equipped with the new umbrella, umbrellas and more comfortable with the human body, when the ground is much smaller impact, the training period has been shortened by half. “

in the exercise field, reporters to see to: parafoil high-altitude penetration, the more attack, so the “enemy” are very hard; new powered parachute from the air, interspersed lateral to enemy positions, breaking the enemy’s escape route; parachute wing to start with half a basketball court, a big umbrella to several tons of cast material , more than ten tons of parachute assault vehicles, tanks safely parachute to the ground … …

Airborne Miracle, the political commissar of the Ministry Fan Xiaojun Description: Umbrella is different from other branches of the military-specific airborne “card.” Airborne form the beginning, with equipment and technology under the umbrella of the constraints, then only meet in the “drop even lower.” Now, with the constant upgrading of the new umbrella, Airborne has achieved “down fast, come standard, winning the war” operational goals.

2003 August airborne paratroopers successfully developed a new umbrella. It uses an integrated main parachute and parachute back structure, with superior stability and gliding ability, so that airborne with a “get the gun in the air gun’s ability to speak.”

present, China has independently developed a paratrooper airborne umbrella, umbrella armed wing, power wing umbrella, umbrella and other new investment property more than 10 different models, different performance of the parachute equipment, so with the airborne comprehensive, all-weather airborne combat capability.

● paratrooper assault vehicles, tanks and other paratroopers fall from the sky, paratroopers entered the “reload” Time

in fighter aviation and electronic jammers under the cover of several of the planes roar from modern large transport aircraft. Fleet passing, I saw a parachute assault vehicles, cars, paratroopers, tanks and commandos from both the large transport aircraft “belly” floated down. Commando a floor, fast relief umbrella, toward the battle position, driving paratroopers assault vehicles, paratroopers, tanks onrush … …

as “heaven” of the special arms, China is facing a long airborne embarrassing – broke into the “enemy” in depth later, but can not get a strong fire attack capabilities, rapid battlefield mobility and strong armor protection. Historic breakthrough occurred in August 2005. That year, automated command system, parachute assault vehicles, combat vehicles fielded airborne paratrooper forces, greatly improved battlefield mobility, strike capability and protection, representing the progressive realization of airborne from motorized to the mechanization of information technology across the style development.

“Peace Mission 2005″ joint military exercises between China and Russia, the success of the airborne unit into a new batch of airborne paratroopers tanks, paratroopers from China entered the era of heavy equipment, motorized and airborne to Rapid Assault mechanized manner, has become one of major combat.

in the “airborne mobile-2009″ exercise, paratroopers assault vehicles as fast assault force to use. Reporters saw at the drill site of the brave paratroopers heavy equipment: airborne to the “enemy” after “a Major Special Contribution Eighth” chariot officers and men was driving the paratroopers to the “enemy” command post moved into top speed, suddenly encountered the anti-airborne ” enemy “violent check. Commander Li Xiaofeng calm, commanding a row to occupy a favorable terrain, the use of anti-tank missiles, cannon and long-range anti-tank rockets and other weapons, vehicle pre-emptive strike capability, the “enemy” fire attack, while directing the second row and third row respectively, from left and right sides of the “enemy” roundabout to form a “pincer” attack of the situation … … quickly, “a Major Special Contribution Eighth” minimal loss of soldiers to anti-airborne easily defeated “enemy.”

● new highly integrated airborne man-portable system, equipped with a full set of 21, go into the upper body only 1 minute 20 seconds

“paratroopers inherently surrounded by the enemy! “American TV series” Band of Brothers “in the words aptly spoken paratrooper battlefield survival difficult.

paratroopers behind enemy lines mission is to surprise, surprise, surprise again. Behind enemy lines, no supplies, no support, no backing, rely on complete surprise, sabotage, Jixi, rescue and other tasks? Carry equipment and materials is vital. So, the paratroopers carry portable equipment has what it mysterious?

in the exercise site, the reporter saw, again and again the regiment three-generation Long Chang airborne just one ground, it neatly took out a knife, quickly cut the parachute risers, then like magic from the scabbard on the back take wildly only the size of the next key contact whistle, blowing gently on the mouth, we have heard this over quickly move closer to him.

Zhang on behalf of the dragon is a multi-paratrooper with a knife, function even more than the famous Swiss Army knife is a paratrooper portable system will bring equipment. Sharp single edge can not only quickly cut the parachute risers, can easily cut the wire diameter of 5 mm or less, the serrated knife blade to saw off the aircraft aluminum, and cables; handle highly sensitive compass embedded in the top to facilitate the march, and to determine the position; sheath bottom with screwdriver, bottle opener and can opener and other small tools.

like this “treasure” in the parachute backpack everywhere. Reporters saw, a folding spade, after only a palm-paratrooper, both can be used to build fortifications, but also can be used to fry eggs, cooking; disposable water purifier for parachuting soldiers anywhere water to quench their thirst; and the inner the use of high insulation materials, weighing only 2.3 kg paratroopers to sleep with a men’s “field house” … …

in the drill site, the reporter witnessed the whole process go into combat soldiers Wufeng Yu: I saw him the paratroopers portable with belt, shoulder strap and tighten with the appropriate adjustment, and pull the excess rope is good, tucked, small shovel, water bottles, gas masks and other adjustments to the appropriate location, the installation firm. The small shovel, water bottles, magazines, etc. into the appropriate bags, paratrooper knife features a full set of the belt 21 on the … … equipment, wrapped in just 1 minute and 20 seconds.

long Yaoheng Bin introduced the Department of force: “Although the man-portable airborne capability is limited, but highly integrated comprehensive security system to improve the soldier combat effectiveness, so that every paratrooper are really relying on the formation of a self-protection , the combat system capable of independent survival, exponentially increase the combat effectiveness. “
