Russia Prepares 300,000 Troops For Its Largest War Games In Nearly 4 Decades

Russian troops and their Belarusian counterparts await orders during joint military exercises in Belarus last year. Next month, Russia will embark on another joint military exercise — this time on a much larger scale and in collaboration with China and Mongolia.

The exercise known as Vostok-2018 will occur next month and involve more than 1,000 aircraft and the help of Chinese soldiers. The Kremlin says it has not mustered drills on such a scale since 1981.
