Life is tough at the frontier post

The Zhanniangshe Post of Tibet's Shigatse Military Subdistrict, located at the southern foot of the Himalayas, stands 4,655 meters above sea level. It is ringed by heavy clouds and fog all year.  The severe snowfall period lasts more than 7 months every year, and the oxygen concentration is less than one-third that of the plain. 

The post's living conditions have substantially improved over the last few years with a three-story comprehensive thermal insulation sentry structure that combines duty, training, and dwelling has been constructed.   Bathrooms, toilets, heating equipment, oxygen generating equipment, and other amenities are now available. ​​​

Might as well title this drill a "FPV Drone" warfare drill, which seems more suitable.

BEIJING, Sep. 24 -- The Chinese and Nepalese army soldiers conducted live-fire small arms shooting training in mixed groups on Sept. 23, the first training day of the Sagarmatha Friendship-2024 joint army training.

The live-fire shooting training, set against the backdrop of joint counter-terrorism operations, was indoor close quarters battle (CQB) tactics drill, involving pistols, rifles and other small arms. In the next two days, soldiers from both sides will carry out special shooting and indoor tactical training courses.

Close Encounters Of The Second Drone Carrier Kind

Most China Navy (PLAN) observers are concentrated on the "Type 076 Light Carrier/Drone Mothership" and for good reason, for it is the world's first UCAV/amphibious assault ship hybrid, weighting roughly 40,000 tons and now under construction in Shanghai (here). 

 Judging by the latest image posted on Chinese Internet, the PLAN is building or modifying a "drone carrier" based on the Type 074A Class LSM, weighing roughly 800 tons, much smaller than her Type 076 sister. However, if the program is successful, Chinese shipyards would surely produce a large number of drones carriers in a short period of time, raising the concept of "drone swarm" to a new height. Pun was, of course, intended.

The addition of a "flat top" layer provides more storage space below deck, while the open-ended design simplifies drone recovery operations.

Bad Pun Of The Day:

Type 003 FUJIAN Class Aircraft Carrier (CV18) went in the wrong direction and is now being towed back to port.

This is a joke post, so don't take it too seriously.
