MENADEFENSE All about defense from Marrakech to Bengladesh
The Algerian and Russian armies will hold a military anti-terrorism exercise in Algeria this November, says the press service of the Russian army’s southern military district.
This exercise will take place in the Hammaguir training field, under the 3rd Military Region, a stone’s throw from the border with Morocco. According to the press release, 80 soldiers of the Russian special forces will take part in this exercise which will put into practice the tactics of anti-terrorist fight of both armies in desertic and arid environments. In October 2021, Algeria participated in a similar exercise in North Ossetia, in Tarskoye, during which 200 soldiers of both armies tested equipment and techniques of anti-terrorism in rural and mountainous areas.
