China and Russia Training Together

China's Snow Leopard Commandos

While you were not looking, a couple of big time players in world affairs were having a little get together.

On June 11th, Chinese and Russian special forces held a 10 day joint military exercise in Beijing.
The title given to this joining of forces was "Cooperation 2013".
This marked the first ever joint training operation held in China.

46 personnel from China's elite anti-terrorism Snow Leopard Commandos joined with 29 Russians from a special task force unit in domestic security.

According to reports the 2 forces aimed to learn from each other to improve their counter terrorism skills and tactics. The military exercises consisted of training courses on shooting, forced entry, hostage rescue and terrorist camp raids.

This is not the first time these 2 forces have worked together, back in Sept. 2007, a training exercise was held in Russia.

As these 2 strong military forces continue to strengthen their ties, one can only wonder what might come from it.

Thanks
