China prepares PLA along Indian border with US-style battle to get ready for future fighting

Beijing, Feb 23 China has prepared a branch of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) sent along the Indian border with an effective US-style coordinated individual warrior battle framework to get ready for a future "informatised fighting", a media report has said. Informatised fighting, a term widely used by the Chinese military lately alludes to the use of IT, digital and artificial intelligence applications in combat zone conditions.

QTS-11 system weighs up to seven kgs.

"The individual soldier combat system is just piece of the digitalised armed force, something nations are attempting to do. Developing the coordinated individual fighter battle framework adjusts to informatized fighting later on," Song said.

"QTS-11 systems of the US and China are similar but not comparable. The system's ability relies upon how it is used," Song said.

Special operations forces are the first to have an essence of the QTS-11 framework before the framework would be generally prepared into different powers. The framework is additionally extremely costly, Song said.

The declaration by the official media of the deployment of new system along the outskirt with India took after a report a couple of days prior of the updating the air resistances along the LAC was seen by military observers here as a psychological warfare being resorted to by the PLA.
