China's "Snow Leopard Commando" to drill with Russian commandoes

21:58, August 29, 2007

The Chinese People's Armed Police (PAP) has granted the title of "Snow Leopard Commando" to a detachment that will participate in an anti-terror exercise in Russia next month.

At the title-granting ceremony on Wednesday, the Commando received its flag and emblem. Afterwards, Qu Liangfeng, the brigade leader, led his commandoes, wearing camouflage, helmet and boot, to swear to the nation and the people.

The Snow Leopard Commando, namely the 13th Special Brigade of the PAP Beijing Corps, is scheduled to join in the Cooperation 2007 Joint Exercise with Russia's domestic security force in early September.

The brigade, a first-class anti-terror force guarding China's national capital, was established in December of 2002. So far, it has handled over 90 major urgent cases and took part in a dozen military drills and performances.

As an international practice, an anti-terror commando would have its unique name, according to the PAP Headquarters.

Joy.... The Soviets and the Chi-Coms. Well, at least since they're now together it will be easier for me to target them.
 
They'll piss each other off before you know it.
We're living during interesting times. The reorganization phase.
 
Wow, now when they have a cool name they will increase their operational capabilities at least 100%.

(Sarcasm)..
 
It's a typical Asian thing. Showing is just as important, if not more, than the actual substance.
South Korea has outgrown that to a degree but looks like China is still very much in bed with it.
The most elite special ops unit in South Korea does not have such a name and in fact, the name is very misleading... one would think they were a bunch of paper pushers. Headquarters of Intelligence Detachment. Only been declassified very recently and still details about them are sketchy at best. After being around for over fifty years, now their existence has been made public but nothing else. Just their existence.
Marine Units? 1st Division, 2nd Division and 6th Brigade. The do have nicknames but no one really cares. Truth is, I can't remember the other name for the 1st Division.

But overall what you're seeing with these Chinese troops is huge improvement. Their equipment looks clean and up to date, their discipline seems to be good as well. The professionalization of their armed forces is something that needs to be watched closely. The era of Chinese units using massive numbers and cheap, obsolete junk are coming to a close.

Looks like a 5th Columnist to me. Chi-com Spy


I have to admit that when I saw the construction worker I half expecting to see an indian, Cowboy and Biker in the next photo doing a rousing rendition of "YMCA".

But on the whole I have to agree with the_13th_redneck's comments on this one.
 
It IS his primary.

That's standard issue for the number two man in Team Super Cool Alpha Wolf Squadron.
