An exercise in the Eastern Theater exposed the extraordinary combat power of the PLA. The "sharp weapon" of street fighting unveiled in the video has aroused close attention on the island, and the Taiwan military's plan may fall through.
The People's Liberation Army's street fighting weapon exposed, one step ahead of the United States and Russia?
In recent years, the progress of global military science and technology has forced us to re-examine future warfare, and unmanned equipment is undoubtedly one of the hot topics. Recently, a cross-day and night-time maneuver exercise in the Eastern Theater of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has aroused widespread attention from the outside world.
The unmanned combat vehicles that appeared during the exercise not only made us aware of the PLA's innovation and bold attempts in the field of unmanned equipment, but also made countries full of imagination about possible scenarios in future wars.

The emergence of unmanned combat vehicles is not new, and both the United States and Russia have conducted research and development in this area. However, in the face of technical problems such as communication and control, these military powers have never been able to integrate unmanned combat vehicles into the actual combat system. On the other hand, the People's Liberation Army (PLA), with years of technological accumulation and strategic planning, has solved these obstacles and taken the lead in putting unmanned combat vehicles into practical application, achieving new breakthroughs.
The appearance of unmanned combat vehicles in the exercise not only indicates the flexibility of tactics and the improvement of efficiency, but also a challenge to the traditional manned combat mode. Now it seems that the rapid overtaking of opponents in unmanned equipment technology has become one of the important strategic goals of all countries.
By observing the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, it is not difficult to find that unmanned equipment is gradually changing from a supporting role to a protagonist on the battlefield. With the continuous progress of intelligent technology, it can be expected that unmanned equipment will gradually replace traditional manned equipment in the application of future warfare. This trend has been confirmed in the strategic concept of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) - unmanned combat vehicles can not only carry out support operations, but also be equipped with a variety of firepower systems, which can effectively clear forward obstacles, create a safer landing environment for follow-up troops, and minimize casualties.

In addition to unmanned combat vehicles, there is also a member of the unmanned equipment family of the People's Liberation Army that has attracted much attention - robot dogs. Don't underestimate this four-legged robot, it has been transformed into a "sharp weapon" for street fighting. Agile and lightweight, robot dogs are able to penetrate deep into undetectable areas for reconnaissance and strikes. It can not only carry light weapons to carry out long-range fire suppression missions, but also provide real-time intelligence as a "scout", greatly improving the tactical decision-making space of combat units.
Imagine how amazing the combat effectiveness of robot dogs and unmanned combat vehicles will be when they work together. Through this strategy, the PLA is able to more calmly confront enemy forces and any adversary who wants to challenge China's core interests in a complex urban warfare environment.
The island is paying close attention, and the plan of the Taiwan military is about to fall through?
In addition to unmanned combat vehicles and robot dogs, the PLA's exploration in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles is no less eye-catching. From micro-drones controlled by individual soldiers to rotary-wing drones that throw heavy explosives, China has always been at the forefront of the world in the development of drone tactics. In the context of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the PLA is not only learning from the experience of others, but also actively exploring new tactics that have not yet been proven.

The issue of the Taiwan Strait has always been a sensitive topic, and the unmanned equipment widely deployed by the PLA has undoubtedly caused tremendous psychological pressure on the Taiwan military. In the view of Taiwan experts, these unmanned equipment means that the PLA can achieve unmanned strikes in the early stage of landing. The combination of drones, unmanned ships, unmanned combat vehicles, cruise missiles and other types of equipment will make the enemy powerless to resist.
At present, the PLA has already mastered air and sea supremacy in the Taiwan Strait, and in the future, once a conflict breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, after the PLA successfully breaks through the outermost defenses, seizing land supremacy will become the last move. As far as the "Taiwan independence" elements, whose general trend is gone, unmanned equipment is almost difficult for them to parry.
According to the assumptions of the Taiwan authorities, after the PLA lands on the island in the future, the Taiwan military can rely on its geographical superiority to fight street battles, thus delaying time and waiting for the US military to intervene. However, with the unveiling of a variety of unmanned equipment of the People's Liberation Army, this plan of the Taiwan military may be completely defeated. With the assistance of unmanned equipment such as drones, unmanned combat vehicles, and robot dogs, the street fighting on which the Taiwan military has high hopes may end in a very short time.

The rapid development of unmanned equipment is changing the shape of warfare and constantly affecting the international military landscape. The PLA's explorations and achievements on this path demonstrate its unremitting efforts and high strategic vision in the field of innovation and technology. In this era of rapid change, whoever can get a technological head start is likely to dominate the situation on the battlefield of the future. The successful practice of unmanned combat vehicles means that the PLA has taken a key step.
