The Chinese troops training in Belarus should take lessons from the DPRK and gift the EU with some trash balloons.
Anti-terrorist exercise of taking an airport? Doesn’t compute
Better to be prepared in a situation where terrorists occupy an airport, no?
If your definition of “terrorist” is random people in balaclavas, maybe not. If your definition includes NATO-backed Ukrainian neo-nazis, it makes a lot more sense.

But that’s what I’m getting at. When was the last time we saw fighting over airport capture? I only recall the case in Ukraine in 2014-2015. But then it would not be an “anti-terrorist” operation, it would be a military operation.
Azovites have been conducting plenty of non-military terrorist operations for the last decade. Picking an airport for joint exercises doesn’t necessarily mean the airport is known to be a target, either.
Why not? Historically many if not most terrorist incidents involving hostages or seizures of property like hijackings occur on or around planes. Heck Die Hard 2 is all about terrorists taking over an airport and that was made in the US more than a quarter century ago.
