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?
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.
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.
