CHINA IS SENDING APC’s INTO RUSSIA

It’s no secret that China is playing a vital role in the Russian military industry. Duel use components and lower grade microchips and circuits it can produce in quantity have been big business.
What they haven’t been doing, at least openly, is sending heavy ammunition and equipment.
Until now. I’ve seen two photos from a friendly source showing Russian soldiers training to use a Chinese built APC based on the Sabertooh used by Chinese security police, already in Russian military colours and displaying anti-drone equipment and awareness, the police. Police version shown above.
China has been exporting vast amounts of uniforms, body armour and helmets to Russia - much of it low grade but better than the Russians have produced themselves.
Intelligence suggests that Chinese companies and advisors have been heavily involved in streamlining and improving various military manufacturing plants large and small to bolster Russian military production.
It’s not all been plain sailing. The Russians are to say the least racist, and suffer a superiority complex which is guaranteed to rub the Chinese the wrong way, especially when roles of the past have been so clearly reversed.
The financial aspect of these operations has also been complex, with American tentacles on the financial sector are so deeply entrenched and influential, monetary transactions between Russian and Chinese companies has been fraught with complexity and deviousness trying to bypass sanctions or the threat of them. There’s no question this has depended the difficulty trading between the two states.
In many ways none of this matters because there is a problem here.
If China is going to produce on the scale it, and only it can, war material for Russia, then the fortunes of the war rapidly become skewed in Russia’s favour. If thousands of new IFV’s and APC’s start to appear in the Russian inventory then that’s game changing. It’s a lack of these vehicles that is seriously hindering Russian operations on the frontline.
The question is what can the US do about it?
China isn’t much listening to the US. Its internal situation is dire, with a major unemployment and fiscal crisis bubbling away daily, along with chronic and vast flooding across entire regions of the south.
Yet Chinese internal problems rarely ever stop it chasing its foreign and military interests.
We need to understand what China is doing for Russia and how this will impact Ukraine. This could be a new and dangerous stage of the war.
