China trains infantry to fight and survive on drone-dominated battlefield China's infantry units are reworking their training, equipment and tactics around the drone threat after exercises revealed how vulnerable traditional camouflage has become, the South China Daily reports. The military has responded by writing new training manuals, building dedicated anti-drone training facilities including simulation rooms, and maintaining the focus of exercises on detecting and disrupting hostile drones with specialized weapons and coordinated tactical responses. Officers are now required to demonstrate proficiency with equipment and counter tactics, not just conventional combat skills. The change is visible across most of the force: 🌏 A 71st Group Brigade ordered mandatory training on hiding heat sources and lights at night, including covering the hot parts of rocket launchers. A 72nd Group armored company that worked with multiple manufacturers to improve its use of undetected systems and 78th Group Army anti-drone equipment trained to evade drone patrols 🌏 81st Group Army Reconnaisance units used blankets, moist soil, and f to reduce the signatures created by the manufacturers they own, including vehicles they own, including armored vehicles. Recent conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine have highlighted the dominance of drones across the battlefield, raising the need for soldiers to adapt to the new rules of modern warfare.
