[Russia's "Central-2026" strategic exercise concluded and the Chinese participating troops set off for retreat after successfully completing the exercise mission] October 3rd, according to the Ministry of Defense, on October 2, local time, the closing ceremony of Russia's "Central-2026" strategic exercise was held at the Chebarkul shooting range in Chelyabinsk, Russia. After many days of training in the same field, this exercise came to an end. During the exercise, our military's participating troops participated side by side with troops from Russia, Belarus, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan and other countries. All parties conducted specialized and refined operations around intelligence reconnaissance, command and control, fire strikes, comprehensive support and other operations, organized combat planning and actual military operation drills, and consolidated traditional multilateral friendship and enhanced joint action capabilities in the same field.
According to the commander of the Chinese participating troops, the Chinese participating troops were drawn from the central theater and delivered to the Chebarkul shooting range exercise area in Russia using a combination of motorized maneuvers, railway transportation, and air transportation. The participating troops have established a three-level command and leadership structure of "Director Department-Joint Campaign Command-Task Team" to efficiently coordinate and command various exercise operations. In the preparation stage of the exercise, the Chinese director's office and joint campaign headquarters carried out collaborative research and training with foreign troops. The mission team focused on training on subjects such as reconnaissance guidance, coordinated obstacle removal, coordinated attack, and battlefield first aid, and interspersed with the organization of meetings, cultural exhibitions, artistic performances, sports exchanges and other activities. In the implementation stage of the exercise, command drills are first organized, and then actual troop drills are organized into three operational stages, focusing on three-dimensional reconnaissance, signal fire strikes, guided entry, multi-directional assault, rapid annihilation and other operations.
This exercise has the characteristics of high intensity, fast rhythm change, high firepower density, long maneuverability and strong actual combat capability. Our military's participating troops participated in the exercise in depth from different levels, including background scenarios and guidance, campaign command, and actual troop exercises. It reflected the in-depth collaboration of all participating parties in joint campaign operations and was also a test and experience of our military's joint combat capabilities. Our military's participating troops are organized into multiple groups such as assault, fire strike, engineering support, and information support. The exercise adheres to the requirements of field operations, simplicity, and actual combat. It relies on unfamiliar foreign terrain and a multinational collaborative environment to comprehensively test our actual combat capabilities such as long-range strategic projection, cross-border logistics support, and joint combat command.
After completing their mission to participate in the "Central-2026" strategic exercise, the Chinese participating troops began to withdraw from the Chebarkul shooting range. The retracted troops will be transported by air and rail to gradually return to the country to return to work. After the Chinese participating troops withdraw and return to the military, they will focus on their missions and summarize their experience and identify deficiencies in aspects such as multinational force joint operations planning, joint actual troop operations, long-distance cross-border delivery, coordination of actual troop operations, and political work, so as to effectively improve joint operational command and the actual combat capabilities of the troops.
