Summary

Machine summary

The fourth iteration of the China-Belarus 'Divine Eagle' series opened August 12 at a PLA Air Force training center in Wuhan, with airborne forces from both countries conducting joint urban counterterrorism drills focused on reconnaissance, seizure and control, and 清剿与固守 (clearance operations versus consolidation of positions); the opening day included a Chinese weapons and equipment demonstration and hands-on disassembly and reassembly practice for Belarusian participants. The exercise documents a recurring bilateral military training relationship now in its fourth cycle, with the counterterrorism framing consistent across the series rather than marking a new operational focus. What remains unknown is the scale of participating forces and whether the Wuhan venue is the same Air Force training center used in prior iterations.
