Moscow has wrapped up a number of large-scale military exercises across the country, with more drills expected to end shortly, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu told President Vladimir Putin on Monday.
The Army and Navy drills, which have been held across Russia, have checked the readiness of almost each and every military district of the country, Shoigu said.
“The large-scale exercises are taking place in the Western Military District, in almost all fleets – in the Barents Sea, the Black Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Pacific Fleet,” Shoigu stated. “Troops from almost every military district, including the Eastern Military District, the Central Military District, and the Northern Fleet, are taking part in them.”
Some of the exercises “are coming to an end” already, the minister added, with further events expected to conclude shortly as well. According to Shoigu, the Russian military honed its skills in various operational areas, training to counter potential adversaries in “both surface and underwater environments.”
