Chinese troops take part in Russia’s huge military exercise

Russia’s largest military drills in over three decades, also attended by the Chinese military forces, kicked off at the Tsugol training range in Russia’s Trans-Baikal region on Tuesday.

Codenamed “Vostok-2018”, the drills are said to be the largest military exercises since the “Zapad-1981”, which was held in 1981 by the Soviet Union and involved about 100,000 to 150,000 troops.
