Battle tanks open fire at "enemy positions."

A seven-day drill came to an end in central Henan Province yesterday and was hailed a success.

A division of the Chinese People's Liberation Army's Jinan Military Area Command, with about 10,000 soldiers and officers and 1,000 vehicles, took part in the exercise, dubbed "Iron Fist-2007."

The drill highlighted the PLA's training for electromagnetic battles over the past year. The aim is to improve command capabilities, long-range maneuvers and firepower.

This year the whole army has carried out training on electromagnetic combat.
