The largest Russian military exercise since the cold war was a simulated response to a "hypothetical attack by Japanese and US forces,"
The wargames, which involved 130 combat aircraft, 70 ships, 5,000 tanks, 160,000 troops and 320 tons of equipment took place in Russia's Far East near the border with China. The drill was the result of a "snap order" given by Vladimir Putin on Friday which tasked the Russian military to achieve full "combat readiness" in a short time frame.
"The Sakhalin part of the maneuvers was intended to simulate a response to a hypothetical attack by Japanese and US forces," Konstantin Sivkov told BBC News.
