Summary

Machine summary

The China-Pakistan 'Karakoram-2026' Army Joint Training Exercise concluded October 22 in Korla, Xinjiang, running nine days and covering eight mission sets — reconnaissance, UAV offense and defense, sniper overwatch, three-dimensional assault, fire support, search and clearance, and battlefield medical care — with the final day's live-force exercise organized under mixed Chinese-Pakistani formations using the principle of 联合指挥、混合编队、内部分组、协同行动 (joint command, mixed formations, internal grouping, coordinated action). The article identifies this as the first iteration of the 'Karakoram' series focused specifically on 联合反恐清剿行动 (joint counterterrorism clearance operations) in high-altitude environments, and the inclusion of UAV skills transfer — Chinese instructor Li Longxiang demonstrating systems to Pakistani personnel — documents a technology-sharing dimension that goes beyond standard bilateral exercise reporting. The framing around 中巴命运共同体 (China-Pakistan community with a shared future) is standard political work boilerplate, but the operational specificity of the mixed-formation live exercise raises the question of whether interoperability at the small-unit level is now a stated training objective rather than a byproduct.

肩并肩练协同 ——中巴“喀喇昆仑-2026”陆军联合训练见闻 ■张智鹏解放军报特约通讯员牛昱森 10月22日，中巴“喀喇昆仑-2026”陆军联合训练在新疆库尔勒落下帷幕。这是中巴两军首次组织“喀喇昆仑”系列陆军联合训练，也是两国陆军围绕高海拔地区联合反恐清剿行动课题开展的一次深度交流。此次联训有效提升了两军共同应对恐怖主义威胁的能力。技能互训第一天，开阔的无人机操作场地上，中方教员李龙翔举起一架无人机，进行操作演示。在场的巴方官兵围成一圈，认真观摩，不时提出问题。经过一上午的磨合，参训官兵沟通愈发深入、操作渐趋熟练。近身格斗互训时，双方各出一名队员示范。示范完毕，两人互相敬礼、握手——这是比试，也是请教；应用攀登课目，中方人员攀上高墙，一个动作一个动作地分解示范，巴方战士很快跟上节奏。会议室里，一场研讨交流热烈展开。中方官兵讲解缺氧环境下的体能分配，巴方官兵介绍山地据点的坚守要点。联训分队中方指挥员说：“通过这场分享交流，大家获益匪浅。” 专攻精练阶段，侦察监视、区域封控、狙击瞰制、无人攻防、立体突袭、火力支援、搜索清剿、战场救护，8项行动轮番展开。10月20日，中巴双方首次以混合编组方式，演练侦察监视和机动封控。无人机刚刚腾空而起，中巴侦察分队已沿模拟村落外围悄然展开部署。“通过合练，双方配合越来越默契。”中方参训队员高春说。 10月22日下午，联合实兵演练展开。中巴双方按照联合指挥、混合编队、内部分组、协同行动的原则，采取实兵行动、模拟打击的方式，连贯演练多维侦察定位、立体机动布控、综合火力突袭、山地搜索清剿等行动。从14日开训到22日结训，中巴参训官兵同心协力，充分展示了联训成果，有力彰显了携手应对挑战的深厚互信。大家表示，中巴友谊历经风雨，两国是全天候的好朋友、好伙伴。双方要继续努力，为构建新时代更加紧密的中巴命运共同体贡献自己的力量。
