MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 16th August, 2018) Russian and Serbian troops defeated the superior forces of a simulated enemy carrying out offensive actions at the Luga training range in northwestern Russia, the press service of Russia's Western Military District said Thursday.
The drills started on Tuesday in Russia's Leningrad Region and will continue until August 17. Around 800 servicemen and over 200 pieces of military equipment, including army helicopters, are involved in the exercises.
"Russian and Serbian mechanized infantry units carried out a quick maneuver, changing position and taking a favorable line of defense, which allowed preventing the further advance of armored vehicles of the simulated enemy," the statement reads.
The previous military drills in Russia involving Serbian soldiers took place in late June, when Slavic Brotherhood-2018 brought together 700 Russian troops, over 250 Belarusian troops and about 50 Serbian troops to train in the Krasnodar Territory. The drills included activities such as killing simulated terrorists and liberating mock civilians in a simulated border takeover. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the exercise was the largest to be conducted by the Russian Airborne Troops in 2018.
