Analyst: China has begun re-mothballing of weapons for transfer to Russia

February 26 2023 27

At the PLA's largest weapons depot in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the Chinese military has begun to remove some types of cannon and rocket artillery from storage in large quantities. They bring the reactivated reserve artillery systems to a combat state and allegedly prepare them for subsequent transfer to Russian colleagues. This was announced by Chinese military analyst Zhu Shufang, citing his sources.

We are talking about self-propelled howitzers PLZ-05 of 152 mm caliber - analogues of the Soviet / Russian 2S19 "Msta-S", as well as MLRS AR1A - analogues of 9K59 "Smerch" of 300 mm caliber. The expert clarified that high-ranking military men from Russia allegedly arrived in the mentioned province of China 8 days ago.

Analyst: China has begun re-mothballing of weapons for transfer to Russia

It should be noted that this information should be treated with caution, since there are no other confirmations on this matter yet, however, as well as denials. The reaction of the Chinese and Russian military, as well as law enforcement officers to the publication of this information, is still unknown. It is not worth categorically rejecting it, but also blindly believing the above, too.

You just need to take into account the very fact of the publication and be patient, because, by a strange coincidence, this information coincides with statements that have appeared in the West and Ukraine about possible early deliveries of weapons to the PRC to the Russian Federation. The American, European and Ukrainian media daily put forward a variety of, sometimes very extravagant versions for this.

These messages began to appear after Beijing put forward its initiative for a peaceful settlement between Russia on the one hand, Ukraine and the West on the other. Moreover, in the West, the plan of the "Chinese comrades" was criticized. However, this did not stop French President Emmanuel Macron from announcing on February 25 that he would make a trip to China in early April 2023. In the first half of this year, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Charles Michel may also materialize in China.

War is the number one testing ground. The Chinese themselves are probably very interested in testing their weapons. Look, the Americans spent almost all of their samples through the war, and not all of them passed the tests, many failed. I think if we have a need for shells, missiles (consumables of war) and UAVs, then we have a problem. We have UAVs only on paper and in news broadcasts.

I don’t know why Chinese howitzers are needed if the main “span” and the complete superiority of the Armed Forces of Ukraine over the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are in communications, reconnaissance (especially space), guidance and big problems with guided weapons. These components are simply a total loss and the Chinese are most of all precisely this if they could help - they are doing very well with this.

The article says that all this is written on the water with a pitchfork. Maybe even the Chinese will reopen their equipment, but not the fact that for Russia. Why write about what the Chinese themselves do not know?

  The article clearly states that this "hack" is for China's trade with the West, for its own selfish purposes. And Russia was dragged in, for a "bonus", when playing with "marked cards". China looks at Russia as a "goods for exchange", nothing more.
  It will depend only on us how this confrontation will end.

In principle, it is quite possible that the Chinese can supply artillery and ammunition.
For now: China and Russia are "situational allies"
Naturally, neither China nor Russia will confirm or deny these data.

We can roughly calculate how reliable this is.
1) How many factories produce shells in the Russian Federation is not a secret. If desired, you can approximately calculate the total number of shells.
2) is there a shortage of ammunition in the NWO zone, also not very. And if we add 2+2=4

If the PRC began the re-opening of weapons, it’s not necessary for the Russian Federation, they have Taiwan first, they will need a lot of weapons there, for the Americans with satellites. Perhaps the Chinese train moved to Taiwan, with American military assistance bogged down in Ukraine.

They argue, they argue.
And then - BAM!
And for some reason this weapon ends up in Ukraine.

it is unlikely that China will interfere in its own. Now, if the West expands the conflict to a full-fledged war, then maybe, probably, or maybe not, it will join.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry seems to refute the information. If all the same, they started reopening, then they may well sell some stale weapons to the Russian Federation, but only after the next coven of “democracies” in March, the NPC session and Comrade Xi’s visit to Moscow.

This is the second part of the Chinese peace plan. If both parties hope for victory, then one of the parties must be deprived of confidence in this.

China should be well aware that they are next with Taiwan. It is not for nothing that the European Central Bank pledged assistance to Ukraine until 2022 in the spring of 2025. Then they will start to nightmare China. For this, an analogue of NATO has already been created in the Pacific region.

It's high time, if God forbid something happens to us, it will be very painful for China, if not fatal. Today, in fact, we are at the forefront of its borders fighting with the evil spirits of 52 countries .... and you just won’t be able to sit out, you can swim along the river yourself to the joy of your enemy. After all, the United States has openly declared China its enemy No. 1 to the whole world

Surely there are interests in parrying any steps of the West to overturn the situation on the field besides the PRC, and Russia has a wealth of experience in indirect conflicts. Why should deliveries be direct? It is enough to arm combat detachments of PMCs formed in Asia and send such volunteers, as NATO does, to Donbass with their weapons. No problem if you can't, but you really want to. And the experience of combat operations in modern warfare is a valuable thing in itself, there is nothing to replace it with.

Reopen, so what? Should we supply? And what? 50 countries supply weapons to Ukraine. Why can't we accept help? Although I don’t understand, we don’t have enough guns.

  we have enough guns and ammunition, but they cannot be touched for the time being, there is a war with NATO ahead, the role of Ukraine in this conflict will be bled, weaken Russia, and when we have few military resources left, a war with NATO will begin

Ammunition should be taken from S. Korea, albeit through China. It makes sense to buy warships from China. Varyag and Tashkent were built at foreign shipyards.

In this world, every man for himself, this is capitalism, which the government wanted and is now reaping the benefits, and no China and India, etc. will help us, they will only do what is beneficial to them! Why are things going so badly and slowly at the front, but because the fifth column is still alive and puts spokes in the wheels of both the military-industrial complex and the warring army, there are only spies around, the enemy knows ahead of time about the plans of the General Staff, the country is at war, and the oligarchs are profiting, they own military-industrial complex enterprises and they go with reports to the State Department for the sake of preserving in the west the loot in Russia from the people! And why is this evident, but they did not help our army a single penny, unlike the impoverished people who give it their last! In the media and on TV, an endless bacchanalia continues with Pugacheva's cowards, with artists who have escaped traitors, although there is silence and inaction about the real enemy in power! As one of the greats said, "don't expect victory in the rear of the enemy"!

Zelensky promised to impose lethal sanctions against the PRC if they decide to supply weapons to the Russian Federation, now the Chinese are thinking and trembling with fear, because the drug addict Zelensky is terrible in anger!

  Ivan Ivanovich, oh, and terrible Zelya in anger. Oh, and they love it. There is no rescue. In short, kapets China. And if Zelya says that the ancient Ukrainians dug up the South China Sea, then the Chinese will completely lose heart and the Ukrainians built a wall and gunpowder and paper. And the first emperors of the Celestial Empire were also Ukrainians, but then they sold out and became Chinese, but dill blood flows in their veins to this day!
