#PLAASF #Xinjiang China has recently built mysterious hangars in the middle of the desert, possibly linked to one of its technology testing units.

#PLAGF #Qinghai The Yushu Independent Cavalry Company of the PLA’s 76th Group Army conducted a drone‑coordinated exercise.

#Fujian #PLAGF Of course, Apple Maps’ military blurring policy is not perfect. Not all military sites are censored, and in some unusual cases, sites are only partially blurred.

#PLAN Type-956EM Taizhou (138) vs. Type-956E Fuzhou (137): Taizhou moves the HQ-10 to the stern, upgrades VLS from 16+16 to 32+16 cells, and replaces Kashtan with a Type 1130 CIWS. Fuzhou retains AK-630 and a stern AK-130. Both are Russian-built Sovremenny-class destroyers.

#InnerMongolia A new UAV site has been identified in Inner Mongolia at Sanfenzi (三分子). The runway was established between 2014 and 2015 but has undergone significant upgrades in recent years. It is likely a test facility.

#PLAN #Shanghai Recently, a new base was established on Hengsha Island, near Shanghai, for one of the squadrons of the Eastern Theater Command’s 5th Landing Ship Flotilla @TheDeadDistrict

#PLAAF #Shanghai Three GJ-2 combat UAVs were spotted at Chongming AB.

#PLACSF #Shanghai A new SATCOM site north of Shanghai, built around 2024, covers approximately 2.16 square miles.

#PLAAF #Jilin Built last year in northern China, it appears to be a new air defence site operated by the 98th bn and may be equipped with HQ-22 systems. Like other recently constructed sites, it also deviates from the conventional design of China’s air defence installations.

#PLAAF #Fujian This site, built around 2022, attracted considerable interest because it doesn't follow the conventional layout of an air defence site, initially raising suspicions that it might be a cruise missile site. More recent imagery may indicate that it's an HQ-8 site.

#PLAGF A PLA Army unit conducts an anti-drone swarm drill: radar detects a low-altitude UAV swarm, while lasers and microwaves disrupt targets, interceptor drones engage penetrators, and anti-aircraft guns finish off the remaining drones.

#ROCAF For reasons that are unclear, Taiwan chose at the beginning of the current decade to deactivate the air defense battery (which at the time was equipped with Hawk missiles) in the Jiali District, leaving all of Tainan covered by just a single Patriot battery (794U631Y3L).
