Report: For Tibet deployments, China equips military helmets with self destruct system

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Report: For Tibet deployments, China equips military helmets with self destruct system (Page 1 of 3)

If the button doesn't work, do they call the tech support center in India?

The Chinese military is equipping soldiers stationed in Tibet with newly developed helmets embedded with a self-destruct button.
The button will trigger an embedded bomb to go off, killing the soldier.
"At a battalion or brigade level command center, a commander monitors a soldier who is far away by using the navigation system. The commander can activate the self-destruct function of the soldier's helmet if he can't get in contact with him," state-run media China Observer reported on Dec. 27.
Soldiers can also press the button themselves. "If a soldier is seriously wounded and doesn't want to be captured, he can activate the self-destruct function himself. This can maintain his dignity, as well as prevent the enemy from obtaining this system," the report stated.
The new helmet is part of a so-called "individual soldier digital combat system" given to troops in the Tibet theater command. They face Indian troops at the border, where there were recent skirmishes over disputed territory in the Ladkh region.
The system includes an antenna and bomb, night vision multifunctional glasses, and a digital control terminal that can be worn on the arm.

Indian Intel IT officers, can we hack the signal? Yes! But should we? Yeessssssss!

So if you shoot the helmet does the bomb go boom?

That would be pretty rad. Capture about 5 or so of them, strip them down to nothing but their helmet and film it when their command finally decides to light their fire. Then distribute the video around the internet so the world can see what the PLA really thinks about their soldiers.

this can't possibly be a good idea, could it?

Why... in the FUCK would anyone want to steal that technology ?

I thought the Chinese were chess, not checkers. Turns out they're just reincarnated june bugs.

Y'all may be assuming these are voluntary soldiers, b/c that's certainly one way to get compliance out of slaves.

I’m sure no one could hack that system and just command detonate an entire division.

LOL

Couldn't they just, ya, know, take it off...I get that getting enemy frag in the head while defecting would suck, but surely being decapitated by explosion would be worse?

Good point. The world can be a shitty place, especially in China.

Can you imagine a Chinese human wave attack (IE Korean war) where all the attackers suddenly go headless when the RTO keys up for fire mission

One day the congressional medal of honor will be awarded to a hacker for singlehandedly taking out 1000 Chinese soldiers.

Hack the signal and then sit back and watch them pop like popcorn.

This tactic might be helpful dealing with Chinese mech on CONUS later on.

Need to rethink all the Chinesium gear now that we find out that some of it could have some undocumented “features” like this we never knew about.

LMAO imagine your commander giving you a new helmet with explosives that he has the controls to and telling you its self detonating so you can keep your dignity if you get wounded.

Just stand next to who ever controls the order for detonation, you'll be safe.
Stand next to your CO and self detonate taking both of you out.

Brilliant! That'll keep those commies in line!! Go China!

Don't forget to install that same self destruct system on navy ships!

Soon to be on the "employees" making products for multinational corporations? sneakers, smart phones, etc...
Now management can work from home!

Keep your quota up or boom.

eta- I really hope this is a bullshit article, it is like something out of some dystopian sci-fi.. then again... such a dystopia seems to be creeping nearer and nearer...
