| The troops also practised joint reconnaissance, joint block and control (of accident areas), joint strike and joint support for campaign equipment. Xinhua reporters saw a Russian Mil Mi-26 helicopter above the training ground refuel Chinese and Russian tanks and infantry fighting vehicles under covering fire. Pan Liangshi, chief officer in the Chinese campaign command and commander of the People's Liberation Army's 39th Group Army, said Chinese and Russian troops had been conducting daily coordinated exercises since the drill entered the battle planning phase and had enjoyed better cooperation. Peace Mission-2013, running from July 27 to Aug. 15, has three phases -- troop deployment, battle planning and simulated combat. |
