The 15th Airborne Army is a rapid reaction force, traditionally prioritizing mobility and deployability over heavy armor and firepower to optimize airdrop and air assault operations. However, with the increasing number of Y-20 transport aircraft entering service, the 15th Airborne can now afford to field slightly heavier equipment. The TKUP201 is an example of this shift toward a more firepower direction.
Vehicle "KJ60 2402 " translates into: KJ = Air force, 60 = 134th Combined-Arms Mechanized Airborne Brigade. 2402 = 2nd battalion, 4th company,

PLAAF Airborne's new assault brigade
12 months after the last great PLA orbat reform, CCTV airs its first
report on PLAAF's assault brigade thus confirming its existence.
Source (here)
The CMC decommissioned three divisional headquarters (43rd, 44th and
45th) on April 19th, their regiments are now reformed into 6 brigades
(127th, 128th, 130th, 131st, 133rd, and 134th) directly under the corps
headquarters . Additionally, there will be a new SpOps Brigade , a
Strategic Support Brigade (Engineering, Communication, etc) and an
Aviation Brigade(Fixed And Rotary Wing Aircraft) bringing to a total of 9
line brigades.
The 15th ABC's organic helicopter regiment was first revealed during the
2008 Sichuan earthquake rescue work and then by a high profile fly-by
during the 60th national day celebration.
It is now time for the 15th to test its newly found air mobility assault capability in a large military exercise. The advantage of air mobile assault over airdrop are many: ranging from entire unit delivery in one place--which immediately allows combat-readiness, precision resupply landings, to on-station fire support from helicopter gunships. In time, it will be interesting to see if a small portion of the 15th ABC will be converted into air-cavalry to enhance the corps' mission profile.
