Last September, ahead of the September 3 V-Day parade, Sun Xu, chief instructor of the Chinese mainland’s amphibious assault formation, delivered a stark reminder: “A silver medal may be honorable. But in war, there’s only one winner.” 🎖️
These elite amphibious troops are trained to respond rapidly to various scenarios at sea and on land. Their drills showcased speed, coordination and evolving tactics, hinting at the future of modern warfare. 🌊⚔️
Last fall’s parade offered a rare glimpse at how these forces could reshape strategies in the years ahead.
For news enthusiasts, young professionals and students tracking Asia’s evolving security scene, the rise of the Chinese mainland’s amphibious assault troops signals a bold push towards modernization. As Sun Xu put it, when it comes to war, there’s no silver medal—only victory. 🏅
