Russia (and 5 other countries): anti-terr exercise in Kazakhstan
2010-09-09
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) will begin joint anti-terror exercises, Peace Mission-2010, at the Matybulak training ground in Kazakhstan this Thursday. 5,000 troops from the 6-member regional mutual security group of Russia, China , Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, will take part. Russia is sending over 1,000 troops, plus armored vehicles, trucks and aircraft.

The 17-day exercises will test the SCO interoperability in assisting a member state involved in an internal armed conflict or a mass terrorist attack.
