This is a certain field training ground of the Rocket Force, where several new types of missiles are being erected. From the process of firepower assault, it can be seen that each combat unit not only needs to closely coordinate to complete multiple waves of fire strikes but also must be ready to handle special situations such as strong electromagnetic interference and precision strikes at any time.

The officers and soldiers stated that the new equipment has a higher degree of intelligence, stronger mobility, and more precise fire strikes, possessing the operational advantages of all-weather, independent, and strong penetration.

The iteration and upgrade of equipment essentially represent the hard landing of technological strength. In recent years, a large number of new main battle equipment independently developed by China, such as the Dongfeng-17, Dongfeng-26D, Dongfeng-31, and Dongfeng-61, have been equipped and regularly trained.

Expert Interpretation: Multiple vehicle simultaneous launches are crucial for position safety and strike effectiveness

In the footage of the Dongfeng-17 practical exercises, we also saw multiple missile launch vehicles lined up on the road, missiles being erected, and multiple vehicles launching simultaneously. What advantages will this demonstrate in actual combat?

Military commentator Du Wenlong stated that road launching is just one style displayed in the video, and the key is to launch as quickly as possible relying on the road. As long as the launch vehicle can be deployed, actions such as erecting and launching can be completed. If there are other locations available next, it is best to choose the nearest one as quickly as possible.

Multiple vehicle simultaneous launches are a technical standard; if missiles are launched simultaneously, it will play a crucial role in position safety and strike effectiveness. Therefore, this scene is not just for aesthetics but is demonstrated for practical combat purposes.
