Senior Chinese military officers recently divulged that troops are incapable of utilizing China’s new battle systems effectively, according to an interview they gave to Chinese state-run newspaper, the Global Times.
In a Jan. 20 report, officials explained that an “elite combined arms brigade” of the 81st Group Army of the People’s Liberation Army was defeated during a mock battle held last year.
