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.

That was my first thought. Why would anyone wear such a thing?
that is dry humor at its finest
It strikes me that this isn’t intended for the troops in Tibetan, but India.
so ingenious!
they must have stolen the technology from Dr. Emanuel..
Is it true that Biden is negotiating with China to obtain this technology for the U.S. forces?
Each adult wears an explosive torc which can be detonated by remote command, bringing about instant death by decapitation.
In the case of the Chinese, because they will do things to your family if you don’t. However, since they have limited the size of families, this might not work out so well.

If we are going to fill our little slice of the the internet with garbage, it ought to be funny. This garbage article is a laugh riot.

Military suicide bombers . . . don’t need a belt, just strap it on the head.
I’ve heard of exploding overcooked Egg Rolls and Won Tons but this is ridiculous.
Maybe this is called “getting a head” in the Peoples’ Liberation Army (instead of getting a promotion).
Next Volunteer! I said, NEXT VOLUNTEER!!!
Exploding Heads.
Finally we have a remedy for the Jake Tappers and Jim Acosta’s of the world.
Going to be a tough call from the Chinese General to India when they don’t work.. have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again?
Can they take it off?
Soldier take that hill, well okay them BOOM!
Who is gonna fight for someone who would remotely kill you? If morale is so bad...the soldier would take off helmet and surrender (defect). Report sounds bogus. Or life in communist China not worth it.

This would make the soldiers want to strip off their equipment every time the situation gets a little dicey. It almost ensures that they’ll fall apart under stress.
What an incredibly stupid idea.
