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.
After being equipped with the system, soldiers at the frontline can communicate with the battalion commander at the command center via radio, according to the report.
Meanwhile, the commander can see the frontline by reading the video footage captured by the soldier’s camera equipped inside his jacket.
By viewing the footage, the commander can order to fire artillery targeting Indian soldiers, the report stated. It further claimed that soldiers can detonate the button when they approach Indian forces. This system would ensure that the Chinese side would win any potential conflict with the Indian army, the report stated.

Heck, close the loop on the automation. The instant your Social Credit Score core drops too low, BOOM! Avoids Wang getting too emotional about pushing the button on his buddies.
LOL! But first the Chinese soldiers hear a message from the Indians that they have a problem with the IRS and they need to make a payment to avoid going to jail. Oh, and they can pay via gift card.
When you remove the helmet chinstrap, that breaks the electrical circuit and causes the helmet to explode.
China fears defections.
