An armored element assigned to a brigade with the Chinese PLA 72nd Group Army conducted a live-fire shooting assessment. The assessment involved amphibious assault vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles. Operating in both day and night conditions, the crews independently selected white-light or night-vision devices, weapons and ammunition types to search for and engage various targets, testing the troops' coordination and precision strike capabilities.
