Russia's Multinational Military Exercise Last Week Was A Dry Run For Bigger War Games
The exercise, called "Peace Mission 2018," included 3,000 troops from China, India, Pakistan and other countries. Next week's war games are billed as the biggest Russian exercises since the Cold War.
The ground trembled as Russian Sukhoi attack jets blasted off at the Shagol airfield in the Ural Mountains. Close behind them, fighters from China and assault planes from Kazakhstan roared into the late-summer sky.
The multinational air force was assembled 900 miles east of Moscow last week to take part in an "anti-terrorist" exercise called "Peace Mission 2018."
