The 6th Edition of SCO Exercise Peaceful Mission:2021 hosted by Russia has started in the Orenburg Region of South-West Russia.
What is an Exercise Peaceful Mission?
It is a Multilateral Exercise that is conducted biennially as part of military diplomacy between Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) member states.
The exercise aims to foster close relations between SCO member states and to enhance the abilities of the military leaders to command multinational military contingents.
The exercise is based on joint counter-terrorism operations at operational and tactical levels in an urban environment in which Armies and Air Forces of all SCO member states are participating.
As part of the exercise, troops will train, share and rehearse tactical drills which will culminate in a final validation exercise where-in troops from all Armies and Air Forces will jointly undertake operations in a controlled and simulated environment.
