Even though India is facing a tensed situation with China and Pakistan on its borders, its armed forces will carry out drills with these countries’ militaries next month in a strategic command-post exercise.
India is sending a tri-services contingent of around 200 personnel to Southern Russia in September to participate in a multi-lateral exercise Kavkaz-2020, Indian Army sources said.
The Indian contingent would include 160 personnel from the army along with 40 troops of the Indian Air Force and two Navy officers as the observers there. The exercise is being held in the Astrakhan province of Southern Russia where member countries of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and Central Asian countries would be participating.
