Baloch Rebels Destroy Chinese-Made Armored Vehicle in Pakistan, Exposing Xi Jinping's Defense Tech

Islamabad: Baloch rebels blew up an armored vehicle of the Pakistani Army by detonating a landmine in Balochistan. The explosion was so powerful that the armored vehicle was blown to pieces. Along with this, all the soldiers present in the vehicle were killed. The name of the vehicle destroyed in the attack is Dangfang Armored Vehicle. It was inducted into the Pakistani Army in 2021 for anti-terror operations. This armored vehicle has been made in China.


Baloch rebels released video


Baloch rebels have also released a video of the attack on the Pakistani Army's Dongfeng armored vehicle. In this, the vehicle can be seen blown to pieces. The rebels have also filmed themselves planting a landmine in the middle of the kutcha road. This shows how strong their hold is on the entire area. After this, the rebels recorded the entire incident on camera from a safe distance. After the explosion, the rebels also fired at the surviving Pakistani soldiers.


Pakistan has purchased 300 armored vehicles


The Pakistani Army has 300 Chinese-made Dongfeng Mengshi GEN-III CSK-182 4×4 Armored Personal Carriers (APC). This vehicle was selected as the next generation tactical vehicle of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) in 2017. In addition to the standard APC configuration, special versions are also available, which can be used as a battlefield ambulance, signal/electronic intelligence, command and control vehicle, a platform for heavy weapons such as rocket launchers or ATGM launchers.


Get to know the Dongfeng Mengshi vehicle


The Dongfeng Mengshi is a family of 4×4 MRAP/off-road vehicles developed by Dongfeng Motor Group. The initial generation of the vehicle is a license-built Hummer H1, while the later generation of vehicles is indigenously designed. Dongfeng Mengshi generally follows the trend of US military requirements. For example, the CSK-141 is the Chinese equivalent of an armor-plated reinforced Humvee, while the CSK-181 is the Chinese equivalent of the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle.


This vehicle can run at a speed of 120 km/h


The Mengshi CSK-182 has a maximum speed of 120 km/h and an autonomy of 600 kilometers. It weighs about 8 tons. The CSK-181 is a new generation of light tactical vehicle developed by Dongfeng for the PLA. The CSK-181 is based on the CSK-141 with a driver, a weapon station operator as co-driver and 8 seats.


This vehicle is equipped with many features


This variant has improved satellite communication capability, long-range night-vision cameras and most importantly mine-resistant ambush protection capability. All CSK-181s are equipped with a remote-controlled turret on which machine guns, anti-tank missiles and grenade launchers can be mounted. The vehicle entered service in 2020. The CSK-182 is a smaller version of the CSK-181 with 6 seats including a driver and a weapon station operator. It is based on the EQ2111.
