Joint military exercises - it may all just be politics:
- India want cheap Russian oil and need to show willing
- Belarus do whatever Russia tells them
- Tajikstan and Mongolia are bit players of no consequence - just making up the numbers
- China want to make the US and Europe nervous as part of their "world domination" strategy
We don't know how big this exercise is - it may be a show of real capability, or simply a couple of hundred troops having an awayday with photo-ops.
