Mengshi was formally adopted by the Chinese army in 2007. Its development took about six years. And before the start of mass production, the SUV passed more than 200 thousands of test hours, including about 1,6 a million kilometers of road tests.
In addition, the machine has passed various environmental and other tests - dropping with a parachute, transportation at high altitude, operation in high and low temperatures. All of them confirmed the technical compliance of Mengshi with the basic requirements for army off-road vehicles.

Turning to concrete decisions and actions, it is clear that all the signed bilateral treaties are not just paper, but real works on cooperation and military support.
