Russia Military Drills: America has objected to India's participation in Russia's Multinational Vostok-2022 Exercise. According to the US, Russia has waged a war against Ukraine, so America is deeply concerned about the maneuvers of any country with Russia.

In response to the question that India is an ally of America, will America put pressure on India if India does not participate in the exercise with Russia, the spokesperson of the US White House said that there is no dialogue with Russia. America is concerned about the country's maneuvers and every country participating in the exercise should think about it.

India's Gorkha Regiment taking part

Let us inform that the Vostok-2022 exercise is starting from Thursday in Vladivostok, Russia. Apart from Russia, armies of India, China, Mongolia, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Syria and Nicaragua are participating in this exercise. About 50 thousand soldiers are taking part in this exercise to be held in tri-service i.e. water, land and sky. A contingent of Gurkha Regiment of India comprising 80 soldiers is participating in the Vostok exercise. However, India has not given much publicity to its participation in this exercise.


The exercise will last for a week

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the Vostok exercise is a strategic command post exercise focused on the security of the eastern region of Russia and in which a dozen allied armies including India and China are participating. Apart from about 50 thousand soldiers, 5000 tanks, cannons and other weapons are involved in this exercise. Apart from this 140 aircraft and 60 warships are also part of this exercise.

This one-week-long exercise has been organized under the auspices of Russia's Eastern Military District (Theatre Command) and Pacific-Fleet. It is believed that Russian President Vladimir Putin can also reach Vladivostok to review this exercise.


America worried about this exercise

Vladivostok is located in the far east of Russia on the Sea of ​​Japan. In such a situation, Japan and America have their concerns about this exercise. Recently, Japan was angered by two of Russia's strategic bomber aircraft flying over the Sea of ​​Japan and scrambled its fighter jets.

China's PLA army is also taking part in the Vostok exercise on a large scale. Chinese soldiers, tanks and armored-vehicles have reached Vladivostok by train. America is already angry about China's aggressive attitude against Taiwan. In such a situation, America is worried about the alliance between Russia and China.
