Military vehicles are key to modern warfare, providing both tactical and logistical support.
China is a major player in producing these vehicles, and one of its production hubs is in Shiyan, a city in Hubei Province.
Known as "Car City" and "Truck Capital," Shiyan has become a central point for the production of military vehicles, including the Dongfeng Mengshi series.
These vehicles are used by the Chinese military and exported to other nations, writes WP.
According to a recent report by Chinese state television CCTV, Shiyan has produced over 400,000 military vehicles.
The footage shows a massive warehouse filled with hundreds of vehicles, ready for delivery. These vehicles are used both domestically by China’s military and exported to other countries.
While the exact export destinations are not specified, previous reports suggest that they are sent to countries in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
The production in Shiyan is a testament to China's ability to supply its armed forces and international customers.
The plant is constantly expanding, and vehicles are stored in large areas before being shipped out.
The Chinese government’s ability to produce such a large number of military vehicles demonstrates the country's readiness to conduct large-scale military operations and support its allies with tactical equipment.
One of the most important vehicles produced in Shiyan is the Dongfeng Mengshi, which is a modern, multi-purpose off-road vehicle.
The name "Mengshi" means "warrior" and is designed to handle tough terrain. The vehicle can be used for various tasks, including transporting soldiers, conducting reconnaissance, and providing logistical support.
One of the latest models is the CSK-181, a light, tactical 4x4 vehicle. It can carry a crew of two and up to eight soldiers.
It also has advanced satellite communication, night vision, and a remote-controlled turret for mounting weapons.
Another key model from Shiyan is the CTL181A, a 6x6 truck. It can carry up to 3.65 tons of payload and serves as a platform for various weapons and support systems.
This vehicle can be used for reconnaissance, fire support, and even medical evacuation.
