1. Worst wingman ever

2. I'd say that was a good skill to have, but....

Ok, so you're chasing, or being chased by an enemy. Somehow your tire pops or is damaged. Obviously, if you can quickly change it on the fly while in action, that's good. BUT...that changer better do it DAMN quickly because he's suddenly a very exposed target.

3. They Have Bikes

We have unmanned drones. Both are dead.

4. I, for one, wish all armies would spend their time on such drills!

5. If those are the most advanced motorcycles they have,

their military is still living in the 60's...

6. Actually, I think this is a fake

Though that is the caption that I found on this pic on pixdaus. The resolution on the bike and the resolution on the background are too similar. Looks either photoshopped or a set piece.

7. I don't think they're actually moving.

I remember when I lived in Beijing in 84-85 we took a trip south and passed a small army camp. This was when they were still wearing the old PLA uniforms
The grunts were throwing a potato masher dummy grenade back and forth to see how far they could throw it. It looked a little pathetic.

8. The Canadians are unimpressed.
