Backstory
Have you ever wondered what an advanced firing range looks like? While media reports often mention the PLA conducting sophisticated drills "somewhere" in the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), this report offers the first detailed glimpse, captured through satellite images, of such a site and its major components. It can show how the landscape has evolved chronologically.
But it’s not just about the firing range. Are you curious about what kind of technology China might use for signal intelligence (SIGINT), navigation, or space situational awareness? In the second part of the report, we reveal two massive SIGINT facilities located near Shigatse along the Yarlung Tsang Po River.
This report focuses on a significant military site—likely a firing range—and two SIGINT facilities situated just 200 km from the Doklam plateau, 150 km from India’s border with Sikkim, and 30 km from the Shigatse dual-use airport. This location underscores China’s intense military preparations, where a variety of air-to-ground and ground-to-ground weapons are tested and complex target simulations are carried out.
