Training moments of China's first "Opposing Force" brigade

Acting as the opposing force "Blue Army", several Type-96 main battle tanks (MBTs) attached to a combined brigade with the 81st Group Army under the PLA Central Theater Command rumble through mound of dusts in speed during an actual confrontation training exercise with the "Red Army". The brigade, nicknamed "Plain Wolf", has participated in over 40 major military confrontation training exercises such as the "Stride-Zhurihe" exercise since it was established 6 years ago.
