In Abkhazia, joint drills are conducted by units from the republican army and the Russian armed forces. The information comes from the republic’s defense ministry press office.
Officials say the exercises are defensive in intent, aiming to synchronize the army’s actions when carrying out combat missions and to test readiness across multiple scenarios.
As described, the scale involves coordinated defense and offensive operations, conducted in cooperation with various branches of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Abkhazia. They take place across all training grounds and also cover areas of the terrain that troops may not be familiar with, ensuring a broad assessment of capabilities.
During these drills, reconnaissance and attack aircraft are employed, along with electronic warfare measures designed to counter similar enemy platforms and protect friendly forces.
In the latest developments, former President Aslan Bzhaniya has voiced concerns about potential political instability in Georgia. To address this, Abkhaz authorities continue extensive studies to enhance the state army’s combat readiness and ensure effective response under varied conditions.
