Russia Announces Military Drills in Far East

Putin to Oversee Drills Alongside China

The Russian Ministry of Defense has announced that it will be hosting the Vostok-2022 military exercises in the Amur Region of the Russian Far East from August 30 to September 5, 2022. The exercises will be overseen by Russian President Vladimir Putin and will involve military units from China.

The Vostok-2022 exercises are part of a series of large-scale military drills that Russia has been conducting in recent years. The exercises are designed to test the readiness of the Russian military and to demonstrate its capabilities to potential adversaries.

The Vostok-2022 exercises will be the first time that Russia has conducted such a large-scale exercise in the Far East since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The exercises will involve over 50,000 troops, 5,000 pieces of military equipment, and 140 aircraft.

The participation of China in the Vostok-2022 exercises is a sign of the growing military cooperation between the two countries. China and Russia have been conducting joint military exercises for several years, and the Vostok-2022 exercises will be the largest and most complex joint exercise to date.

The Vostok-2022 exercises are a major event for the Russian military and a sign of the growing military cooperation between Russia and China. The exercises will provide a valuable opportunity for the Russian military to test its readiness and to demonstrate its capabilities.
