The Chinese army just dropped fresh footage... and it’s not subtle.
Eastern Theater’s 72nd Group Army ran full-spectrum amphibious drills: air-cushion landing craft, live-fire wave assaults, and boat ops under “complex conditions.”
So, they’re practicing how to storm a beach...and doing it in the South China Sea, where tensions are already boiling over.
https://x.com/ianellisjones/status/1938008679711723743The Chinese PLA released new video of recent amphibious exercises:
• Eastern Theater Command's 72nd Group Army conducted "ferrying and assault wave formation training" on 7 June
• A landing ship detachment "assembled an air-cushion landing craft formation and deployed to a designated area in the South China Sea"
• An army brigade carried out "wave-crossing maneuvers, live-fire exercises, and the use of assault boats under complex conditions"
Kui "oma" see lahendus on, on iseasi. USA kasutas sarnast lahendust juba Jugoslaavia sõdade ajal Serbia vastu.pwn13 kirjutas: ↑30 Juun, 2025 18:17 Hiinlased välja tulnud oma lahendusega, kuidas alajaamad rivist välja lüüa

https://x.com/ianellisjones/status/1953996521654939935Surge in Chinese air activity near Taiwan over the last 48 hours: 111 PLA aircraft detected operating around the island, & 85 crossed the median line and entered the air defense ID zone (ADIZ).
Biggest 2-day spike of 2025 & the most incursions since major drills in Oct 2024.
54 sorties of PLA aircraft, 6 PLAN vessels and 2 official ships operating around Taiwan were detected up until 6 a.m. (UTC+8) today. 47 out of 54 sorties crossed the median line and entered Taiwan’s northern and southwestern ADIZ. We have monitored the situation and responded.

According to France24, the incident occurred during the pursuit of a Philippine patrol boat in the South China Sea.
Damage to the coast guard vessel is reportedly so severe that it will be rendered unseaworthy.

https://x.com/IsabellaAn67/status/1958103149102997963South Korean have taken enough of China's maritime bullies & they are now replying China in the language it understands.
South Korean Coast Guard water cannoned & arrested Chinese fishing militia vessels along with their crew, operating illegally inside South Korea's territory.
China just held their biggest military flex in decades.
They revealed 11 weapons that have never been seen before in public.
Military analysts are calling it a 'strategic message.'
https://x.com/shawnchauhan1/status/1963235151200321675Hypersonic missiles were front and center.
China unveiled new models, including the DF-17 and the anti-ship DF-26D.
These weapons are designed to be unstoppable, capable of evading current missile defense systems.
New Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) were also on display, including the DF-61 and the upgraded DF-5C.
These missiles have the range to strike targets globally, significantly enhancing China's strategic deterrence
For the first time, China publicly showcased its complete nuclear triad: land, sea, and air-launched nuclear missiles.
The debut of the Jinglei-1 air-launched missile marks a major milestone for the PLA.
The parade featured a new generation of "carrier killer" anti-ship missiles, like the YJ-21.
These weapons are a clear threat to naval fleets and are designed to reshape maritime warfare.
China's drone technology is advancing rapidly.
The GJ-11 "Loyal Wingman" UCAV was a highlight, designed to fly alongside crewed aircraft.
This is a key step towards next-generation air combat.
The innovation isn't just in the air.
China also unveiled a new underwater drone, the AJX002.
This long, tube-shaped craft signals Beijing's growing ambitions in undersea warfare.
In the skies, new carrier-based fighter jets like the J-15T and the stealthy J-35 made their debut.
These aircraft are crucial for China's expanding aircraft carrier fleet and power projection capabilities.
On the ground, China showcased its next-generation battle tanks:
the Type 99B and the new fourth-generation Type 100.
These tanks feature advanced protection systems and are designed for the modern battlefield.
Beyond conventional weapons, China also revealed new space and laser defense systems.
The HQ-29 is reportedly capable of taking down satellites, and new ship-based laser weapons were also on display.
Overall, the 2025 Victory Day parade was a powerful statement of China's military modernization and its growing global ambitions.
The world is watching as a new era of military technology unfolds.
https://teadus.postimees.ee/8314068/vie ... -sojasaareVietnam on viimaste aastatega Lõuna-Hiina merel paiknevatel Spratly saartel läbi viinud pretsedenditu laienemisprogrammi, millega lihtsakoelised eelpostid on muudetud kindlustatud saarte ahelaks. See samm seab otseselt kahtluse alla Hiina pikaajalise domineerimise piirkonna ühes maailma kõige olulisemas ja pingelisemas veetees.
[...]
Strateegiliste ja Rahvusvaheliste Uuringute Keskuse (CSIS) Aasia Merenduse Läbipaistvuse Algatuse (AMTI) 22. augustil 2025 avaldatud teabe kohaselt on Vietnam lõpetanud maaparandustööd kõigis oma okupeeritud eelpostides Spratly saartel. Värsked satelliidipildid kinnitavad, et alates 2025. aasta algusest on süvendus- ja täitetööd laienenud vähemalt kaheksale varem arendamata saarele, sealhulgas Alisoni, Collinsi, Easti, Landsdowne'i ja Petley riffile. See areng muudab Vietnami kohaloleku tagasihoidlikest betoonpunkritest täielikult kindlustatud saareketiks, mis tähistab riigi seni kõige laiaulatuslikumat eskalatsiooni Lõuna-Hiina merel.
Selle tegevuse tempo ja ulatus muudab jõudude tasakaalu vaidlusalustes vetes. 2025. aasta märtsiks oli Vietnami poolt Spratly saartel juurde võidetud maa pindala kasvanud 1343 hektarini, mis vähendab oluliselt vahet Hiinaga, mis on viimase kümnendi jooksul rajanud 1882 hektarit tehissaari. Ainuüksi 2024. aastal lisas Vietnam rekordilised 259 hektarit, mis teeb Hanoist ainsa osaleja regioonis, kes suudab Pekingi edumaad saarte rajamise võidujooksus märkimisväärselt vähendada. See kiirendus on enamat kui sümboolne – see peegeldab Vietnami seni julgeimat katset kujundada ümber piirkondlikku julgeolekuarhitektuuri.
Uutel tehissaartel domineerib nüüd sõjaline infrastruktuur. Vähemalt seitse tugipunkti, sealhulgas Barque Canada, Discovery Great, Laddi, Pearsoni ja Tennenti rifid ning Namyiti ja Sand Cay saared, on varustatud kindlustatud laskemoonaladudega, mida ümbritsevad plahvatuskindlad seinad. Ainuüksi Barque Canada saarekesel on kolm eraldiseisvat laokompleksi, mis rõhutab selle rolli prioriteetse logistikasõlmena. Need kindlustused võimaldavad riffidel pidada vastu lahingutegevuses ja kaitsta end kaugmaarakettide eest, muutes kunagised haavatavad positsioonid elujõulisteks eelbaasideks.
https://x.com/visionergeo/status/1971566778523193566The influential British think tank, the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), has published an 800-page leaked Russian secret document online. According to the files, Moscow agreed to sell China airborne equipment, training courses, and amphibious vehicles to support preparations for a military operation against Taiwan. The total deal is valued at $210 million.
https://x.com/GreenStandard_/status/1971581244740915336$210m in training, airborne kit & amphibious vehicles from Russia to China sounds big… until you realise it’s pocket change against China’s $225 billion defence budget. The value isn’t the gear, it’s the partnership. But it also shows lack of ability to offer anything of scale.
https://x.com/InsiderGeo/status/1971688206929433030The files (circa 800 pages) come via the Black Moon leak; RUSI says parts appear genuine but some material remains unverified, the papers details contracts, delivery schedules and meetings dating from 2021 onward.
Items listed include high‑altitude parachute systems (Dalnolyot), amphibious assault vehicles, airborne APCs and associated command/observation kit. RUSI says stage 1–2 of the deal are complete and the total listed cost is roughly $321m.
Beyond hardware, documents describe Russian technical assistance and training in airborne procedures and command & control lessons from Russia’s combat experience that could speed up China’s parachute/airborne program.
(RUSI estimates the help could shave ~10–15 years off development), RUSI warns such kit + tactics (high‑altitude drops, gliding ranges up to ~80 km) could enable covert stage‑zero insertions to seize airfields/ports a capability relevant to a Taiwan contingency.
In my honest view, the leaked documents likely mix some real deals with exaggerated claims. A Taiwan invasion remains possible, the main takeaway is that China is gaining knowledge, training, and operational experience from Russia rather than actively preparing an attack
