Weihutang, a programme on military affairs from state broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV), released footage on 19 October showing how the unit used a variety of weapons to counter the UAVs, including man-portable air-defence systems (MANPADSs), short-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems such as the HQ-17, and Type 90 towed anti-aircraft guns.
Moreover, two previously unseen handheld radio-frequency jammers – somewhat similar in appearance to assault rifles – were used, one of which featured an organic electronic warfare (EW) sensor on the top alongside an optical scope.
