According to the US Naval Institute, parts of the Chinese fishing fleet operate as a state-sanctioned maritime militia—often referred to as the People’s Armed Force Maritime Militia (PAFMM)—which acts under the command of the People's Liberation Army (PLA). While not part of the formal PLAN, they work alongside the navy and coast guard to advance sovereignty claims in disputed waters.

I was thinking of this. For the Russian public it would hit home that Ukraine could have hurt them, but instead, showed that it can reach almost anywhere, anytime. The Propaganda value is worth more than a few soldiers and hard for the regime to hide.
Operation Squabble: The Flag DropThe Mission: British intelligence learned that German troops paraded daily down the Champs-Élysées at noon. Flight Lieutenant Alfred "Ken" Gatward and his navigator, Sergeant Gilbert "George" Fern, were sent to disrupt it and boost French morale.The Flags: They carried two French Tricolors weighted with iron bars so they would unfurl properly when dropped.The Execution: Flying at "rooftop height" (sometimes as low as 30 feet) to avoid radar, they reached the Arc de Triomphe at 12:28 PM.The Result: Although the parade had actually been cancelled that day due to poor weather earlier in the morning, Gatward dropped the first flag directly onto the Arc de Triomphe. He then flew down the Champs-Élysées and strafed the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) Headquarters (the Hôtel de la Marine) with 20mm cannon fire, dropping the second flag there.
