Military Units And Formations Disestablished In 2017
A military, also known collectively as armed forces, is a heavily Weapon, armed, highly organized force primarily intended for warfare. Militaries are typically authorized and maintained by a sovereign state, with their members identifiable by a distinct military uniform.

Beyond warfare, the military may be employed in additional sanctioned and non-sanctioned functions within the state, including internal security threats, crowd control, promotion of political agendas, emergency services and reconstructi ...

Type 86 (infantry Fighting Vehicle)
The Type 86, also known as WZ501, is a Chinese variant of the Soviet BMP-1 (Type 86G) infantry fighting vehicle (IFV). Development When the BMP-1, one of the most influential infantry fighting vehicle designs, was fielded by the Soviet Army in early 1970s, China was in the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution.

After the Cultural Revolution ended in 1976, the following Sino–Vietnamese War in 1979 revealed the urgent need for a stronger armored fighting vehicle design. The Vietnamese army often harassed the People's Liberation Army (PLA) in the form of small units, attacking the front and rear vehicles of an armored convoy in narrow mountainous areas to trap the Chinese forces. Most PLA infantrymen who accompanied tanks were either on foot, in thinly-armored vehicles, or riding on the tank roof, thus sustaining heavy casualties. The Chines ...
