China-Belarus "God Eagle-2026" Airborne Troops Joint Training Enters Comprehensive Exercise Phase
Starting from August 19, China and Belarus have entered the comprehensive exercise phase of the "God Eagle-2026" airborne joint training. Previously, the participating military personnel from both sides completed basic intensive training and coordinated specialized training at a certain air force training center, laying a solid foundation for the upgrade of the exercise.
During the preliminary training, the Chinese and Belarusian military personnel were mixed into groups, learning from each other and focusing on specific training objectives. From standardizing collaborative processes to refining tactical approaches, both sides gradually enhanced their mutual understanding through repeated exercises, steadily solidifying their joint counter-terrorism operational capabilities.
During breaks between tasks, both sides also organized various cultural and sports exchange activities, such as friendly football and tug-of-war matches. The military personnel deepened their understanding and enhanced mutual trust through interaction, further consolidating collaborative consensus and laying a good foundation for the comprehensive exercise.
According to the plan, in the next phase, both sides will conduct comprehensive exercises closely aligned with real combat scenarios, focusing on honing the practical skills of joint command and coordinated actions of the two militaries, while continuously deepening pragmatic cooperation to jointly enhance their capabilities in carrying out joint counter-terrorism missions.
