China PLAGF Artillery
A major transformation maybe happening - 122mm to 155mm at the level of Artillery Battalions inside Combined-Arms Brigades (CAB)
1. First Tracked 155mm PLZ05 started appearing inside PLA's Heavy CAB in Taiwan facing CABs
2. Two different appearances of new designs- Tracked 155 mm and Wheeled SH16A 155mm
3. The SH16A maybe replacing 122mm PLL-09 with Medium CABs. Thus, PLAGF may be moving towards all 155mm field artillery, for at least Medium and Heavy CAB
4. According to the label in Chinese of the SH16A, it is an unmanned turret. So it most probably has the automatic shell loader insider the turret to take care of the whole loading process. Plus some thick and heavy protection to isolate the crew's cabin and the shell storage area
5. Like SH15 was exported to Pakistan, we must watch out for SH16 export to Pakistan

China DF-61 PLARF Status
Many articles listed below since June 2026 have claimed PLARF training on DF-61 including latest Sohu article under circulation citing CCTV video (shared below)
The ICBM was first paraded on 03 September 2025 at the military parade with range and other details not confirmed
There have been various NOTAMs indicating ICBM tests without any ICBM specification
4 TELs have been probably located near possibly 651 Missile Brigade at Chifeng
So, my assessment
1. CCTV statement that a missile is in “regular training” means troops hold it. It has moved beyond parade and test status. The recent NOTAMs maybe related with the induction firing trials.
2. On combat alert duty (战备值班), with a brigade at operational capability, confidence is still low. Regular training is a step before alert duty. Regular training does not always equal alert status.
3. More IMINT and other corroboration required to confirm the combat operationalisation.
4. PLARF's main objective is DETERRENCE. Through these videos, PLA is only attempting Information Transmission or Strategic Signalling (DETERRENCE = CAPABILITY x INTENT x INFROMATION TRANSMISSION)

While UGV operator fires a Counter-UAS net, the FPV operator tries to duck & strike the lower portion of UGV. Split second reactions give you only two options-
1. Cheapest & most beneficial- training, skillset development & identification of correct talent

India at Asian Games – Top 10 Moments
You want to keep watching some moments again and again – They give you immense happiness and make you feel proud to be an INDIAN. Team Atma Nirbhar Soch (@atmasoch) has compiled ten most memorable events which will make you smile with pride every time you will see them. The best moments were in fact given by Indian women by defeating Chinese on Japanese soil
1. Brilliant and precise team work by Indian women hockey team against Chinese hockey team in finals to win the gold. Icing on the cake was individual brilliance by Lalremsiami Hmarzote with that reverse shot in her 200thgame which no goalkeeper in the world could have stopped.
2. Vithya Ramraj’s 400m lap to outpace the Chinese girl to make the women team win the 4x400m gold. Best display of perseverance, passion and determination. This was simply par excellence effort.
3. Lovlina Borgohai (@LovlinaBorgohai) punching her Chinese opponent to win the boxing gold in the 75 kg women category. What a marvellous victory!
4. Savita stopping the Chinese penalty stroke in women hockey finals thereby denying China any chance of equalising. Outstanding save!
THE TASTE OF VICOTRY OF INDIAN WOMEN OVER CHINESE WOMEN WAS SIMPLY DIFFERENT
5. Sujeet Kalkal’s recovery from 2-9 down to defeat Kudeev of Tajikistan 10-9 to win the wrestling gold in the last 1:50. Simply brilliant. This was pure grit with confidence.
6. Team brilliance of Indian hockey team to outrightly win the Hockey finals 5-1 against Malaysia. Glimpses here of one brilliant field goal by precise team work and another master class penalty stroke with only three players.
7. Kumkum’s brilliant throw to score a 10 and win the first ever Recurve Archery gold.
8. Akash’s solid boxing punches against a Korean opponent to win the 80 kg gold.
9. Vaibhav Suryawanshi’s bashing of Pakistani bowler Saim Ayub and then Abhishek’s apt and immediate reply to Saim Ayub’s immature drama of baby-cradle celebration of mocking Vaibha’s 15 years age. Abhishek Sharma, immediately answered back against Saim Ayub in the very same over by smashing a flurry of boundaries and sixes and taking 16 runs off the over.
10. Aman Sherwat’s grit, resilience and resolve to defeat the North Korean wrestler by not only recovering in the end but also withstanding all drama by the North Korean wrestler.

Chinese MoD (Image 1) confirms China-Pakistan Counter Terrorism Exercise in Xinjiang with UAVs at Korla (PLA's 11th Comprehensive Training Base located at 41.65, 86.29). Certain background information
1. China-Pak Econ Corridor (CPEC) has increasing faced terrorist attacks involving drones with more Chinese being targeted. (Image 2 from Chinese AI)
2. So, Chinese are providing Counter-UAS equipment to Pak Army to withstand series of drones attacks from BLA/BRA, TTP, Afghanistan etc. Appreciated Pak C-UAS profile (image 3) rests on Chinese & Turkish equipment. Pak Western front is facing drones attacks on a nearly daily basis.
3. So, Why Exercise- It will be a combination of Pakistan's experience of Drones and terrorist attacks (318 attacks in last week itself- ACLED data Image 4) & Chinese Drones & Counter-Drones technology
4. PLA is increasingly conducting Anti-drone exercise. 75th GA / STC just completed & now it will be XMR under WTC in High Altitude Areas (environment along India-Tibet border)
5. Possible benefits for both - a) Pak experience for inexperienced PLA b) Chinese pressure for better trained & equipped Pak military & police to protect Chinese citizens in Pak c) Improved Counter-UAS architecture particularly tactical C2
6. What to expect - full spectrum jammers, Interceptor drones, C-UAS teams / detachments, C2 architecture, maybe even use of UGVs,quadraped dogs & humanoid robots in CT operations in BUAs (Indian joint exercise just showed some drills)
Chinese MoD official statement re-produced below from their X-post at nitter.gq/MND_China/status/21088…
"In mid-to-late October, Chinese and Pakistani armies will hold Karakoram 2026 joint army training in Korla, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Focusing on joint counter-terrorism operations in high-altitude areas, the activity will include skills training in UAV operation, on-the-move target search and firing, and long-range sniping, and cover joint command and live-force exercises. This is the first joint army training between the two countries, which will help the two sides deepen exchanges and cooperation, and strengthen their capability to jointly counter terrorist threats."
Senior Colonel Chen Xi, Spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense (MND), presented the information about Karakoram 2026 joint army training during a regular press briefing on October 10.

Look how easy Apple Maps (under Chinese pressure) has made it to locate Chinese PLA garrisons or sensitive locations. I searched for this coordinates 43.798, 126.45 to look for 78th GA's Engineer and Chemical Defence Brigade's garrison ex NTC based on wonderful efforts of @JosephWen___ (Thanks as always for your OSINT & GEOINT brilliance). Apple maps gave me two hazy areas right near it. No efforts required. I went to a different site and understood the importance.
Thanks, Apple Maps for making it so easy

Starlink- Following facts are essential for Indians to understand
1. Starlink's operational use has been most exploited by Ukraine. Ukraine was denied Starlink connectivity when the WORLD's BIGGEST OLIGARCH wanted to deny it.
2. Why we have not learnt from "Selective Availability ' issues with American GPS in Kargil
3. In SINDOOR, All American companies selectively delayed, denied or degraded quality of satellite images
4. In Iran, It was the very same Elon Musk who tried to engineer protests through his terminals
5. Every Space Power has his own commercial player US Starlink, China Qianfan, EU One Web, Russia is coming with its own. Why should not India have its own
6. Data is the new oil in peacetime & ammunition in war. So, all dual-purpose things cannot be for a sale to every international firm. Remember Starlink, & American Data firms all work together to strengthen American military AI Targeting
7. America is the least reliable country. On all things Defence, they have given us third rate items & fleeced us of our money
8. Imagine the amount of money we have paid to Planet & Vantor on satellite images, we would have launched many more satellites- free of cost for our private commercial firms
9. Elon Musk already gets enough data on X from us. Why are we so eager to hand him more & then pay him also for it
10. We are not even sure what all additional ISR / Surveillance payloads does Starlink have to monitor India

China may force one app or site to blur. There exists many other solutions. Team Atma Nirbhar Soch (@AtmaSoch) will continue to find all Chinese PLA. Here is the PLA ELINT location in Metok county, Nyingchi Prefecture at 29.498, 94.583 (blurred by Apple Maps, old image provided by Google Earth). The more you blur, the more determined we will be to uncover all those locations
China has made GEOINT more difficult for OSINT.
Example PLA's EW location at 29.4986,94.5837 in Nyinghci Prefecture in Tibet
1. Apple Maps has started hazing PLA locations (Image 1). Satellite.pro has thus also hazed (Image 2).
2. Google Earth gives intentionally old images with incorrect coordinates (Image 3) - football field is clearly not shown.
3. Copernicus low resolution is 10 m and getting 30% cloud cover is also difficult (Image 4) for latest images
Thus free version GEOINT on PLA will get restricted.
