According to the press secretary of the CSTO Joint Staff Vladislav Shchegrikovich, the exercises are intended so that the military can work out the issues of material and technical support during a joint operation to localize the border armed conflict in the Caucasus region.
The exercises will be held in the Astrakhan region at the Kapustin Yar training ground under the leadership of Lieutenant General Viktor Voronov, deputy commander of the Southern Military District for logistics.
