NEW DELHI, 02 Septmeber 2022, (TON): India's defence ministry said “soldiers from the Indian army have landed in Russia for a week-long military exercise, days after the United States said it had concerns about any country exercising with Russia now.”
The Indian government said that its forces have regularly participated in multilateral exercises in Russia, along with a number of other countries.
Indian defence ministry said in a statement “Russia is the biggest supplier of military hardware to India. An Indian Army contingent arrived at the exercise location and over the next seven days will undertake joint manoeuvres to include joint field training exercises, combat discussions, and firepower exercises.”
Moscow announced in late July that it would hold the "Vostok" exercise in the east of the country, despite waging a six-month-long war in Ukraine, where it has suffered heavy losses of personnel and equipment. China, Belarus, Mongolia and Tajikistan are the other participants.”
