On July 14, in the hinterland of the plateau, chariots roared and the iron flow rolled. Recently, a brigade of the Tibet Military Region organized a rapid maneuvering exercise in the alpine mountain area at an altitude of more than 4,700 meters.
It is reported that breaking through the limit of rapid maneuvering under the complex weather in the alpine mountains is one of the topics that the brigade is focusing on exploring this year. Since the reception of the equipment, it has advanced into high altitudes, over snowy mountains, rapids, and glaciers. The brigade has successively explored more than 40 groups of armored forces' mobile operations data in high altitude areas, and has overcome armor maintenance, communication support, and mobile coordination under hypoxic conditions in the plateau. More than 10 problems, summed up more than 10 new tactics. (Li Song He Penglei)
