Chinese Navy Combat Training

A Chinese naval fleet, consisting of warships Xueshan and Lushan of the People’s Liberation Army Southern Theater Command are conducting high-intensity and multi-course combat training in South China Sea. The round-the-clock exercises are to test the emergency response capabilities of officers and sailors, their ability to actually use weapons and their command coordination in complex battlefield environments.

Training modules include dealing with complex and changeable enemy situations at sea and in the air, such as suspicious targets, armed enemy fishing boats, and weapons threats. While fighting targets, they must also take into account rescuing the wounded, dealing with fires and other challenging situations.
