Lu Wenhao's Perspective: New Model of PLA Army Joint Firepower Strike on Foreign Ships?

Recently, media reports quoted official think tank scholars as saying that PLA helicopters crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait for the first time and entered the restricted navigation area, and conducted coordinated operations training with drones. However, the author reviewed recent years and found that these actions are no longer novel and argued with statistical tables. Moreover, it was recently discovered that the PLA Army units conducted live-fire training again in Xinghua Bay. This development, from four years of observation, has shown that the unit has been included in the annual routine assessment training. The direction of training development is different from that of the artillery units with long-range rockets, and the two will form an internal and external tactical complementary situation.
