Killer CCP Robots! By James Reed
It seems that the average commo Chinese soldier is having a tough time in the mountains, so the CCP is sending in the robots to kill, kill, and do more killing. Isn’t technology, and communism an explosive mixture? I imagine this is a test run for World War III against the West. Why, we may live to actually fight one of these things with … I don’t know, maybe rocks and clubs.
“The terrain being difficult, the Han Chinese soldiers unused to the cold and high altitude, the People’s Liberation Army has begun using robot vehicles for transportation and even reconnaissance.

New Delhi: Keeping in mind the difficult terrain of the Tibetan plateau and the difficulties the Han Chinese soldiers have faced because of the cold and the high altitude, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has moved in a large number of unmanned ground vehicles to carry troops, weaponry and supplies. More than half the vehicles are in areas close to the Ladakh area where the Chinese buildup is still in evidence.
The PLA has moved 88 Sharp Claw unmanned ground vehicles or UGVs into Tibet, and 38 of them in the western part of the province, close to where the Indian and Chinese armies are still face to face. The Sharp Claw UGV, manufactured by NORINCO, a Chinese arms manufacturer, can be used for reconnaissance, patrolling and transportation of weapons and logistical work in difficult terrain. it can also be fitted with weapons.
Also in Tibet is the robotized Mule-200, manufactured by Zhong Tian Zhu Kong Technology Holdings. It has a range of 50 km, can navigate difficult terrain and also, carry about 200 kg of ammunition, supplies or even weapons at a time. Remotely controlled by wireless, it can perform combat tasks if fitted out for fire-support activities. The PLA has 120 Mule-200s in Tibet, more than half of which are in the western areas.
Besides the unmanned ground vehicles, the PLA has the VP-22 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle. It can be used to move troops or as an ambulance. The VP-22 can carry about 15 passengers at a time. There are 70 VP-22s in Tibet, and as with the Sharp Claws and Mules, most of them-- 47-- are in the western sector.
With the specialised vehicles, about 200 Lynx all-terrain vehicles have been spotted, about 150 of them in the areas closer to Ladakh. They can be used for moving soldiers and supplies and as a platform for heavy weapons or for air defence weapons.”
