Recently

at a certain air station of the Southern Theater Command Air Force

the United Defense Mobilization Forces

organized an airport bomb disposal and repair drill

under conditions of heavy damage

to test the comprehensive support capabilities of the airport in wartime

“The airport has been subjected to an 'enemy' airstrike

Initiate the airport bomb disposal and repair plan!”

The air raid alarm pierced the sky

The bomb disposal team entered the damaged area

assessing the damage to the runway

and disposing of unexploded ordnance

After the danger was cleared

the repair team quickly entered the site

and orderly carried out repair operations

completing crater backfilling, surface repair, and other tasks

Subsequently

the emergency ground support team carried out

surface cleaning, marking of runway signs

installation of emergency navigation lights

and setup of mobile arresting nets

to ensure the runway can be restored for takeoff and landing in the shortest time possible

This joint military-civilian drill

simulated a real battlefield environment

to construct an integrated operational chain of “reconnaissance-disposal-repair”

continuously optimizing the airport bomb disposal and repair process

and enhancing the airport's rapid recovery capability under combat conditions
