Chinese way of crushing pirates...with T95 and other stuff

[greentips]

These guys actually have boots! They must be ELITE!

hahahaa, let's look busy - keep wiping that muzzle at the same spot with the white rag!!

 

[DANCESWITHEMPTIES]

I suspect sooner or later they'll be the worlds only super power. So elite or not, if your 'one in a million', there will be a thousand just like em! I like their odds!

A couple chinese navy boats pulled into esquimalt a few years back, i traded some stuff for pins and a peak cap, funny though, they wanted watches and running shoes...made in china

It's just a show. Good or lousy, who cares?

Some interesting pics there. Looks like only one man of the unit was issued optics for his 95. Also looks like one guy has the type 88. Would be interesting to see what pistols they were issued (if any) - I didn't notice any holsters.

Yesterday the Chinese announced they were sending 3 warships to protect Chinese shipping off the coast of Somalia. The fact that the Chinese navy has to go protect national interests shows how far the pirates are beyond state control.

China has a long and deep relationship to some parts of Africa. For example, for certain diplomatic agreements, they will build your country standard pattern soccer stadium(s).

Interesting, the Chinese are even copying marpat now! I wonder how well trained they are?

 

[Maple Leaf Pilgrim]

Claven2 has asked the right question. As to how well trained they are, I would hazard a guess at very. China has been playing catchup in the special forces arena for quite a long time now, specifically after they saw how well they performed when deployed in Iraq the first time around.

I have a feeling that these guys are in line with US Army Rangers or British Army Paras.

That's not all they're copying. I used to think hosers referred exclusively to Canadians!

Sorry, what's marpat?

The USMC's version of CADPAT. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MARPAT

What state? Somalia? Somalia is a semi occupied failed state suffering from international meddling and civil war (been the same for the last 20 years or so). But that is only MHO.

The Korean Special Forces have an interesting video. They sure like to somersault a lot, though.

Is there any way I can put a grenade launcher AND a bayonet on my T97 when it gets here?

 

[MapleSugar]

I wouldn't take them lightly.

About ten years ago, I heard a rumour that China had their own version of a SEAL platoon, on each of their COSCO container ships to ward off pirates.

 

[imbane]

haha, we're getting T97's soon, these rifles look great!

 

[koalorka]

What's stopping CanAm from bringing in the "flare launchers" along with the 97s?

At the end of the day, it will be countries like China and India that solve the problem of piracy - they're the only ones willing to speak the pirates language rather than the UN's language. "Stop, you're eligible for a special program" is nowhere near as effective in the real world as "Stop, bang, bang, bang - what do you mean you can't swim, too bad"
