showing a massive passenger ship fully
loaded on every level with battle tanks
and assault vehicles for a future
battlefield in taiwan.

treatment vehicles, repair vehicles and
construction vehicles.
The rest of the video featured live fire
exercises by attack helicopters and
drones to soften defenses before an
amphibious landing would take place.
