I saw a picture of a Ukrainian infantry platoon. Of about 20 people in the pic, all but 2 had heavy AT on thier back. Of those, they had 4 variants that I saw. Carl Gustav, javelin, panzerfaust, and an rpg-72 (I think it was a 72).
Yeah it looks like joint/combined warfare concepts went right over their heads.

I'm not confident that the PRC is quite that dense though.
