Synthetic?

Synthetic?

It's always written like that in different sources because it's synthetic, but I don't know why.
It says so even on the official pages.
It was a brigade of the 73rd Group Army.

In video: A synthetic brigade under PLA 75th Group Army recently launched a live-fire drill of a new type of weapon in the air defense system in western #Guangdong Province in South China.

A synthetic brigade of the #PLA 83th Group Army recently conducted live fire artillery drills at a training base in Central China's Henan to enhance the troops' combat capabilities.

Besides Chinese promo videos look synthetic anyway.
