Chinese army simulates street fighting with tanks on the island of Taiwan
The Hong Kong edition of SCMP publishes material that tells about the likely direct military confrontation between China and Taiwan. It should be recalled that Beijing considers the island to be an integral part of the People's Republic of China.
Columnist Minnie Chan said that the Chinese army is now considering the actual inevitability of street fighting in the event of a landing in Taiwan.
From the material:
In China, as noted, a simulation of street battles in Taiwan was carried out using Type 96A tanks. The use of Type 04 (ZBD-24) amphibious infantry fighting vehicles is also modeled. One of the brigades of the 72nd PLA Army, which is based in Zhejiang province, was involved in such exercises.
From the article:
It is said that the red team ended up taking the city in less than three hours. This required the destruction of the main roadblocks and minefields.
The exercises are typical maneuvers simulating a conflict between the PLA and its likely Taiwanese adversaries.
Military Expert Lee Che Yi:
The information about the simulation is confirmed by some "central" Chinese media.
