Summary

Machine summary

China and Indonesia will conduct 'Sharp Blade-2026' army counter-terrorism joint training in Guangdong from late October to early November, focusing on mountain counter-terrorism rescue with a curriculum that includes helicopter rappelling, close-quarters assault, and manned-unmanned collaborative operations (有人无人协同). This is the third iteration of the Sharp Blade series, extending a bilateral exercise track that documents China's use of counter-terrorism framing to institutionalize army-to-army cooperation with Southeast Asian partners. The inclusion of manned-unmanned collaborative operations in a bilateral exercise context is worth noting, though the article does not specify which platforms or units are involved.
