(ETH<\/strong>) \u2013 Russia and China are holding a large-scale joint military exercise in north-central China involving more than 10,000 troops, Russia\u2019s defense ministry said on Tuesday. According to Reuters<\/a>, The Sibu\/Cooperation-2021 drills in China\u2019s Ningxia region are being watched for signs that China and Russia are expanding military cooperation as they spar with the West.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s Kommersant newspaper said the drills taking place until Friday marked the first time Russian soldiers would use Chinese weapons. Russia and China have conducted drills since 2005. Moscow sent Sukhoi Su-30SM fighter aircraft, motorized rifle units, and air defense systems to the exercise that was focused on counter-terrorism, the defense ministry said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The drills come as the Taliban has gained ground in Afghanistan where security has deteriorated as the United States withdraws its troops after two decades of war, creating a security headache for Moscow. Separately, Russia on Tuesday completed joint drills in Tajikistan with Uzbek and Tajik forces near the Afghan border.<\/p>\n

According to Al Jazeera<\/a>, The exercises aim to \u201cdeepen \u2026 joint anti-terrorism operations\u201d and \u201cdemonstrate the firm determination and strength of the two countries to jointly safeguard international and regional security and stability\u201d, China\u2019s official Xinhua News Agency reported, citing Chinese and Russian officials.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt reflects the new height of the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era and of the strategic mutual trust, pragmatic exchanges and coordination between the two countries,\u201d Xinhua said.<\/p>\n
