В понедельник (21 сентября) в России начались стратегические учения "Кавказ-2020". В Минобороны заявили, что в учениях задействовано более 80 тысяч человек.

Учения проходят на нескольких полигонах Южного военного округа по всему Кавказскому региону и югу России от Черного до Каспийского моря.

Истребители Южного военного округа несут боевое дежурство в рамках начавшихся в понедельник учений «Кавказ-2020», сообщает пресс-служба Минобороны.

"Экипажи истребителей Су-27 и Су-30СМ Южного военного округа несут боевое дежурство противовоздушной обороны на оперативных аэродромах в Республике Крым, Краснодарской, Ставропольской и Ростовской областях в рамках стратегических командно-штабных учений "Кавказ-2020", об этом сообщили в министерстве.

В учениях, помимо России, будут задействованы воинские части из Армении, Белоруссии, Китая, Мьянмы и Пакистана. В учениях примут участие не более 1000 иностранных военнослужащих. Представители Азербайджана, Индонезии, Ирана, Казахстана, Таджикистана и Шри-Ланки выступят в качестве наблюдателей. Ранее сообщалось, что в учениях должны были участвовать вооруженные формирования из Абхазии и Южной Осетии, но в сегодняшнем заявлении о них не упоминалось.

Учения продлятся до 26 сентября.
