China airborne troops were born in the early 1960s, and were transformed from army units. At present, China's airborne troops have developed into a modern special force composed of more than ten arms, including artillery, engineers, scouts, anti-chemical soldiers and missile troops, with dozens of specialties closely cooperating. He has successively completed airborne combat drills under complex terrain and meteorological conditions such as islands, Gobi, plateaus, water networks, mountain jungles, nighttime and super wind speed, and has been praised by the leaders of the Military Commission for many times.
Modern three-dimensional warfare requires modern airborne troops to transcend any ground obstacles and carry out long-range raids and all-round rapid maneuvering operations. Special arms, special missions, must be particularly capable of fighting.
On the vast snowfield of Daxing 'anling, airborne troops quickly assembled after parachuting, breaking ice to fish, beating livestock with sticks, melting snow into water, and burning firewood to make a fire. They survived in the wild for dozens of days and nights, and completed three training courses, such as going deep into enemy lines, quickly inserting, dividing and destroying the enemy.
On the 100,000 mountain in southern Guangxi, the paratroopers jumped into the mountain jungle as soon as they landed, scaring grass, cutting vines to clear the way, playing in water and climbing cliffs, and successively climbed over more than 50 mountains and 9 cliffs, completing more than 10 field training courses.
On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the roof of the world, airborne troops marched with heavy loads after landing and made continuous assaults, overcoming many obstacles caused by altitude sickness.
In the South China Sea of China, the paratroopers were trained to land on the island, and all the paratroopers landed safely. None of them fell into the sea, and the kilometer beach was covered with snow. Then, rockets were flying all over the sky, flames were blazing, gunshots were loud, and daggers flashed. After airborne, they suddenly occupied all the beachheads of the "enemy" ... On May 9 this year, airborne troops used new models and new umbrellas to carry out large-scale airborne drills in Dabie Mountain. Established paratroopers and light artillery, boxes of ammunition, chariots and logistics supplies fell from the sky in batches. After landing, paratroopers quickly assembled and launched a fierce attack on the target, showing the magnificent landscape of future airborne operations.
In this airborne exercise, dozens of tons of heavy equipment and paratroopers' assault vehicles were successfully dropped for the first time, marking a historic leap from single paratroopers' operations to synthetic operations in China.
Airborne troops are air forces with parachutes and land weapons as basic equipment and airplanes as transportation tools, which mainly carry out parachuting and landing operations. In recent years, the changes of the world military revolution have also brought challenges to China's airborne troops. At present, China's airborne troops are closely following the forefront of scientific and technological development, and concentrate on breaking through the difficult problem that restricts the improvement of airborne combat capability under high-tech conditions. Equipped with new aircraft carrying paratroopers, it is fast and has a large number of people. It can carry out single jump and continuous jump of three doors and four roads, and can drop heavy equipment all day. Long-distance flight can reach any local area without refueling. A new generation of paratroopers successfully designed and developed by our country has strong wind resistance and good low-altitude performance. Landing impact is similar to a new type of "power flying kill", which can adjust the running direction of parachutes in the air, enhance the selectivity and accuracy of paratroopers' landing, make paratroopers truly become "flying trapezes" and greatly enhance their mobile combat capability. The new communication equipment enables airborne troops to locate and communicate quickly after landing. Using individual air defense missiles, airborne troops can also attack enemy planes after landing.
The airborne troops in China regard the independent airborne combat capability as the key point to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the troops, pay attention to enhancing campaign awareness, carry out in-depth research on tactics, increase the difficulty and intensity of confrontation, field survival and assault training, and cultivate a tenacious fighting style in continuous operations.
At present, China's airborne troops have basically formed an all-round and all-weather airborne combat capability, which can drop and win everywhere.
