Recently, the troops under the Xinjiang Military District organized a multi-subject, high-intensity live-fire shooting assessment in a complex outdoor environment to test the rapid response and precise fire strike capabilities of officers and soldiers under high-altitude and low-oxygen conditions.

At the start of the assessment, the officers and soldiers quickly arrived at the shooting positions. The vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun team needed to complete weapon setup and calibration within the specified time, while the ammunition handlers simultaneously loaded the ammunition. Upon receiving the shooting order, team members quickly boarded the vehicle, and the operator used the vehicle-mounted all-domain monitoring screen to quickly aim at the target. According to the time and ammunition requirements of the assessment, they conducted fire suppression and precise destruction of the target.

Wang Peng, a member of a certain unit of the Xinjiang Military District: During the live-fire shooting assessment, we accurately locked onto the target using the vehicle-mounted observation system, maintaining a stable firing rhythm, achieving efficient destruction of the target.

The vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun serves as a key fire support for the army's light and highly mobile units, characterized by strong mobility, significant destructive power, and good protective performance. After the first round of shooting, the assessment team simulated battlefield conditions, adjusting the fixed targets to visible and moving targets to test the shooters' shooting accuracy and psychological quality.

Li Cai, a member of a certain unit of the Xinjiang Military District: This live-fire shooting assessment of the vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun comprehensively tested the equipment's performance and the officers and soldiers' combat shooting capabilities. Moving forward, we will continue to closely align with actual combat, diligently practice our skills, and continuously hone the officers and soldiers' capabilities to win battles.

Meanwhile, a certain air defense unit stationed at an altitude of 4,300 meters conducted a multi-subject, high-intensity live-fire shooting assessment, exploring the equipment's performance and the unit's flexible grouping fire strike capabilities under high-altitude and low-oxygen conditions. The portable missile team was the first to occupy the position, preparing to strike airborne enemy targets.

After the radar captured the target information and uploaded it to the command terminal, the commander issued interception orders. Several portable low-altitude missiles quickly launched and hit the incoming enemy targets, successfully covering other fire units to deploy for combat. After the first round of fire resistance, the anti-aircraft team quickly adopted a combined approach of fire unit shooting and full company concentrated fire to continuously strike the incoming drone swarm and enemy convoy.

Xu Binghui, a member of a certain combined regiment of the Xinjiang Military District: We organized the air defense unit to conduct coherent live-fire training with multiple types of equipment and subjects, honing the air defense unit's rapid response and precise strike capabilities in high-altitude areas, providing strong data support for the next steps in innovating plateau training methods and tactics.
