By Cao Zhi, Liu Weikang, Li Jianzhuo, Chen Yinan and Ding Xingyu An army artillery unit assigned to the Chinese PLA Xizang Military Command recently conducted multi-type live-fire artillery shooting training exercise. The exercise involved multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS), self-propelled mortar-howitzers and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. The exercise effectively tested the equipment performance and enhanced the troops' firepower coordination capabilities. (Video Editor: Zhang Yajie)

Summary

Machine summary

An artillery unit of the PLA Xizang Military Command conducted a live-fire exercise on the Tibetan plateau using multiple launch rocket systems, self-propelled mortar-howitzers, and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. The article documents the unit's mixed-system firepower coordination at altitude but provides no unit designator, location, scale, or date, limiting its value beyond establishing that the Xizang Military Command runs multi-platform live-fire training at elevation. This is standard training-cycle reporting; its narrow use is as a baseline record of the equipment types the Xizang Military Command fields and trains with jointly.
