The Russian-Mongolian exercise "Selenga-2020" was completed in Buryatia www.eng.mil.ru
At the training ground of the Eastern Military District (EMD) of Burduny in the Republic of Buryatia, the closing ceremony of the joint Russian-Mongolian exercise "Selenga-2020" was held.
Despite the difficult sanitary and epidemiological situation caused by the spread of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the joint exercise was held at the highest level, where new methods of combating illegal armed groups were tested.
The state flags were lowered and the anthems of the participating countries were sung at the ceremony. Distinguished military personnel were awarded medals of the Russian Ministry of Defence "For Strengthening Military Cooperation," diplomas and valuable gifts.
The head of the exercise, Major-General Ruslan Abdulkhajiev and Chief of Staff of Land Forces of Mongolia Brigadier General L. Onzogoybayar thanked the troops for their high skills and professionalism displayed during performance of the task.
Colonel Ivan Taraev, head of the department of international military cooperation of the EMD, noted the high dynamics of interaction between the Armed Forces of Russia and Mongolia in the military and military-technical spheres aimed at strengthening the defence capability and national security of the two states.
It is also worth adding that the solemn events dedicated to the closing of the annual joint exercise "Selenga" with the participation of units of the Armed Forces of Mongolia were also held at the Doityn Am training ground (Mongolia), where the Mongolian side played practical actions.
Recall that the "Selenga-2020" exercise was held simultaneously for the first time at two training grounds in Russia and Mongolia from October 27 to 31. The "Selenga 2020" exercise was aimed at fighting international terrorism.
About 650 military personnel and more than 100 pieces of equipment were involved from the Russian Armed Forces. The Mongolian Armed Forces involved about 450 people and over 100 pieces of equipment.
For reference:
The drills are held annually since 2008. Until 2011, it was a tactical exercise with live fire and was called "Darkhan" (translated from Mongolian "Builder"). In 2011, the maneuvers were renamed after the name of the river originating in Mongolia, flowing through the territory of the Republic of Buryatia and flowing into Lake Baikal. From that time on, the exercise began to have an anti-terrorist orientation.
In 2019, the exercise took place at the Munh Hat training ground in Mongolia, where the participants worked out the tasks of jointly destroying mock illegal armed groups and protecting a settlement in the border area.
