Russia has spent nearly a month preparing for the Druzhba (Friendship) exercises, which include reconnaissance, search and ambush actions, camouflage and covert movement on terrain as well as the arrangement of long-term observation posts and survival in isolation from the main forces.
The exercises, which will last until Nov 21, have been held since 2016.
