“The coalition group of Russia, Egypt and Belarus worked out joint actions to block and destroy the base camps of illegal armed groups,” TASS quoted the press service of the Ministry of Defense.
In June, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced that in August Ryazan Oblast would host Russian-Egyptian exercises, which would also be attended by servicemen from Belarus.
Earlier it was reported that about 2.5 thousand military Novorossiysk assault troops landed in the Crimea as part of the exercises of the Airborne Forces and the Military Transport Aviation.
