Russia plans to hold massive war games involving
300,000 personnel next month - its biggest military
manoeuvres since the Cold War.
Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said units from China
and Mongolia would take part in the exercise, at
military ranges in central and eastern Russia.
He compared the "Vostok-2018" war games to Soviet
manoeuvres in 1981, which involved a pretend attack
on Nato.
The exercises come at a time of rising tension between
Nato and Russia.
Nato reacted to Russia's annexation of the Crimea
from Ukraine in 2014 and its backing of pro-Russian
rebels in eastern Ukraine with an increased
deployment of forces in eastern Europe.
Russia says the Nato build-up is unjustified and
provocative.
What will take place in the drills?
Mr Shoigu said 36,000 tanks, armoured personnel
carriers and armoured infantry vehicles would take
part in Vostok-2018, from 11 to 15 September, along
with more than 1,000 aircraft. "Vostok" is Russian for
"east".
Referring to the Soviet manoeuvres in 1981, he said:
"In some ways they will repeat aspects of Zapad-81,
but in other ways the scale will be bigger."
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the exercises
were justified given the "current international situation,
which is often aggressive and unfriendly towards our
country".
He said the involvement of Chinese units showed
Russia and Beijing were co-operating in all areas.

Paratroops and Northern Fleet naval forces will also
take part. Russia's armed forces are reckoned to have
about one million personnel in total.
The scale of Vostok-2018 is equivalent to the forces
deployed in one of the big World War Two battles.
A smaller-scale Russia-Belarus exercise was held in
western regions last year.
President Vladimir Putin has made military
modernisation - including new nuclear missiles - a
priority.
What has Nato said?
Spokesman Dylan White said Nato was briefed on
Vostok-2018 in May and would monitor it.
He said the organisation was considering a Russian
offer to allow Nato military attachés based in Moscow
to be sent to observe the drills.
He said in a statement: "All nations have the right to
exercise their armed forces, but it is essential that this
is done in a transparent and predictable manner."
He added: "Vostok demonstrates Russia's focus on
exercising large-scale conflict. It fits into a pattern we
have seen over some time: a more assertive Russia,
significantly increasing its defence budget and its
military presence."

Urusi inapanga kufanya mazoezi makubwa ya kijeshi
yatakayowajumuisha wanajeshi 300,000 mwezi ujao,
yakiwa ndio mazoezi makubwa zaidi ya kijeshi tangu
vimalizike vita baridi.
Waziri wa ulinzi Sergei Shoigu alisema vikosi kutoka
China na Mongolia vitashiriki kwenye mazoezi hayo
maeneo ya kati kati na mashariki mwa Urusi.
Urusi yatibua shambulizi kwenye kambi yake ya
jeshi Syria
Aliyafananisha mazoezi hayo ya kijeshi kwa jina
"Vostok-2018" na yale ya kisovieti ya mwaka 1981
ambayo yalihusisha pia mazoezi ya kuishambulia
Nato.
Mazoezi hayo yanakuja wakati kuna msukosuko kati
ya Nato na Urusi.
Yatafanywa vipi mazoezi hayo?
Bw Shoigu alisema vifaru 36,000 na magari mengine
ya kijeshi yatashiriki kwenye mazoezi ya Vostok-2018,
kuanzia Septemba 11 hadi 15 pamoja na ndege
1,000. Vostoik ni neno la kirusi linalofahamika
"mashariki".
Akitaja mazoezi ya kisovieti ya mwaka 1981, alisema:
"Kwa njia fulani yatafanana na ya Zapad-81, lakani
pia kwa njia fulani yanaweza kuwa makubwa."
Msemaji wa serikali ya urusi anasema mazoezi hayo ni
ya haki "kutokana na hali iliyo sasa ambayo ni ya
uchokozi dhdi ya nchi nyetu".
Alisema kushirikishwa kwa vikosi vya China
inaonyesha kuwa Urusi ni China wanashirikiana katika
mambo yote.
Kiwango cha mazoezi ya Vostok-2018 ni sawa ni kile
kilitumwa kwenda vita vikuu vya pili vya dunia.
Wanajeshi wa Urusi waitimua manuwari ya NATO
Mazoezi madogo ya Urusi yailifanyika eneo ma
magharibi mwaka uliopita.
Rais Putin ameliboresha jeshi zikiwemo silaha mpya
za kinyuklia. Jeshi la Uruis linakisiwa kuwa na
wanajeshi milioni moja kwa jumla.
Kwa nini China inahusishwa?
Wizara ya ulinzi ya China ilitoa taarifa ikisema kuwepo
kwa ushirikiano wa kijeshi na uwezo kwa pande mbili
kuchukua hatua za pamoja dhidi ya tisho lolote.
Wizara pia ilithibitisha kiwango cha wanajeshi wa
China ikisema kutakuwa na wanajeshi 3,200, zaidi ya
zana 900 za jeshi zikiwemo ndege 30 za kijeshi huku
eneo la mazoezi hayo yakiwa ni huko Tsugol. Baadhi
ya wanajeshi tayari wamewasili.
Nato wanasema nini?
Msemaji Dylan White alisema Nato imejulishwa kuhusu
mazoezi ya Vostok-2018 mwezi Mei na itayafuatilia.
Ndege ya Nato yaikaribia ile ya waziri wa Urusi
Baltic
Alisema shirika hilo linatathmini ofa ya Urusi uya
kuruhusu wanajeshi wa Nato walio mjini Moscow
kwenda kutanaza mazoezi hayo.
Alisema kuwa mataifa yote yana haki ya kufanya
mazoezi ya kijeshi, lakini ni muhimu ikiwa hilo
litafanyika kwa njia ya uwazi na ya kutabirika.
Kwa nini kuna msukosuko kati ya
Urusi na Nato?
Umekuwa ukiongezeka tangu Urusi imege Crimea
kutoka Crimea mwaka 2014 na kuunga mkono waasi
wanaoipendelea Urusi mashariki mwa Ukrain.
Nato imejibu kwa kutuma vikosi zaidi kwenda
mashariki mwa Ulaya, kwa kutuma wanajeshi 400
kwenda nchi wanachama.
Urusi inasema kuwa hatua hizo za Nato ni uchokozi.
Kuwekewa sumu kwa aliyekuwa jasusi wa Urusi Sergei
Skripal na binti yake Yulia, kusini mwa Uingereza
mwezi Machi ilisabazisha Nato kugufukuza
wanadiplomasia wa Urusi.
Uingereza na Marekani ambao wote ni wanachama wa
Nato wanasema Urusi ilihusika kwenye shambulizi hilo
licha ya Urusi kukana.
