Russian regimes, under the leadership of Vladimir Putin, and China, led by Xi Jinping, would be confidentially cooperating to reinforce Beijing’s military capacity in a possible attack on Taiwan. The information was revealed in analyzes of leaked documents, obtained by the Black Moon hacker group and evaluated by think tank Royal United Services Institute (Rusi), from London, according to reports from Associated Press and from Washington Post This Friday (26).
According to the documents – about 800 pages between contracts and minutes of meetings – Moscow pledged to provide cutting -edge training and equipment for a Chinese military battalion. Items include 37 light vehicles BMD-4M Amphibians, 11 Self-Propelled Anti-Tank Cannons Sprut-SDM1 and 11 armored BTR-MDM, as well as special parachute systems for high-altitude heavy cargo launch. The value of contracts, according to the Washington Postit would exceed $ 580 million.
The material also indicates that Russia has committed to training Chinese soldiers in both Russian and China territory.
The Russian package that would be intended for the Chinese to invade Taiwan also includes high altitude parachute systems capable of launching up to 190 kilos of 8,000 meters high, allowing secret special forces infiltrations up to 80 kilometers away from the fall point. According to researcher Oleksandr Danylyuk – who was responsible for Rusi’s analysis, this material could be used in a “zero phase of invasion, infiltrating soldiers and equipment before a larger offensive against Taiwan.
According to the American media, China, while currently having greater industrial and technological capacity than Moscow, still seeks to fill strategic gaps in its aerotransported military sector. “The Chinese air landing school is very young,” said Danylyuk, adding that Russian aid could accelerate the program within 15 years.
According to Washington PostThe documents also show that Beijing demanded that purchased vehicles be adapted to use Chinese ammunition and communication systems, as well as pressing Moscow to accelerate delivery times. This cooperation, evaluating the analysts consulted by the American newspaper, demonstrates an unprecedented operational integration between the two regimes.
