A Chinese military officer has gone viral on the internet for remaining completely still as US President Donald Trump’s Air Force One passed near him when he arrived in Beijing on Wednesday (May 13). The video has been reshared by several people on social media as people give different reactions, shocked at the officer’s calm composure even as the huge Boeing aircraft roars right beside him.

While several users credited the officer’s military training for remaining completely still, others questioned whether it was risky, and he could have been sucked by the plane’s engine. Some even suggested that the Air Force One was, in fact, not as close as it appears in the video, suggesting it was not risky at all.

“Standing perfectly still beside Air Force One engines is actually insane discipline,” a user said. “Wonder if he is wearing hearing protection,” another voiced. One suggested, “Ppl on the tarmac at any airport have ear plugs otherwise they would become deaf in a short time. He’s not any different.”

“If I were standing on that tarmac next to that massive Boeing engine, my eardrums and legs would have given up before the plane even stopped. This guy is a real badass,” a person wrote. Another reasoned, “He is professional and he must have done this before as well what do you expect from him to just run in that uniform!” One added, “Military training gives you that.”

One said, “I'm surprised the air from the turbo fan engines didn't whisk him away!” A user wrote, “We don’t deserve soldiers.”
“The plane is at a reasonable distance away from him,” a person stated. Another echoed, “It appears closer than it really is.”

China’s Secret 4th-Generation Super Tank Exposed? New 7-Wheel MBT Prototype Signals Post-Type 99 Era and a New Armoured Arms Race​

The appearance of a mysterious seven-road-wheel Chinese tank prototype is fueling speculation that Beijing is developing a fourth-generation heavy main battle tank integrating hybrid propulsion, AI-enabled battlefield networking, advanced protection systems, and next-generation firepower beyond the Type 99 series.

The emergence of a previously unseen Chinese armored vehicle featuring seven road wheels per side has triggered intense scrutiny among military analysts because it appears to represent a significant departure from the established design lineage of the People’s Liberation Army’s Type 99 main battle tank fleet

(DEFENCE SECURITY ASIA) — The emergence of a previously unseen Chinese armored vehicle featuring seven road wheels per side has triggered intense scrutiny among military analysts because it appears to represent a significant departure from the established design lineage of the People’s Liberation Army’s Type 99 main battle tank fleet.

Open-source intelligence imagery circulating in late May 2026 suggests the vehicle may constitute China’s first true fourth-generation heavy main battle tank, potentially integrating technologies first demonstrated by the Type 100 medium tank unveiled during Beijing’s September 2025 Victory Day Parade.

If confirmed, the prototype would represent more than a routine tank modernization effort because it appears designed to create an entirely new heavy armored warfare architecture optimized for drone-centric, sensor-fused, and network-enabled combat environments.

The development arrives as major military powers reassess armored warfare doctrines following battlefield lessons from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, where unmanned systems, electronic warfare, and precision-guided munitions have transformed traditional assumptions about tank survivability.

Rather than merely increasing armor thickness or firepower, China appears focused on integrating hybrid-electric propulsion, advanced networking systems, artificial intelligence-assisted battlefield management, and next-generation protection technologies into a unified armored combat platform.

The sighting has also fueled speculation regarding whether the vehicle represents a rumored “Type 99C,” although current analytical assessments provide no credible evidence supporting such a designation within the Chinese armored vehicle development framework.

Instead, available indicators suggest the vehicle belongs to an entirely separate development path intended to complement—or eventually succeed—the Type 99 family in high-intensity armored combat operations.
