IN THE MIDST OF US TENSIONS, RUSSIA BEGINS WAR GAMES WITH CHINA

  • 01/09/2022

Russia launched weeklong war games involving forces from China and other countries on Thursday, demonstrating growing defence cooperation between Moscow and Beijing as both face tensions with the US.

The manoeuvres are also meant to show that Moscow has enough military might to conduct massive drills while its troops are engaged in military action in Ukraine. 

The Russian Defence Ministry said that the Vostok 2022 (East 2022) exercise will be held until September 7 at seven firing ranges in Russia's Far East and the Sea of Japan and involve more than 50,000 troops and over 5,000 weapons units, including 140 aircraft and 60 warships.
