“The

of plenipotentiary envoys of the CSTO member-states is due to be held
on November 17 in Yekaterinburg on the base command of the Central Military
District headed by Army General Valery Gerasimov, who is the chairman
of the Military Committee, the chief of the General Staff and the first
deputy defense minister,” CSTO spokesman Vladimir Zainetdinov
said. The meeting, to be attended by CSTO Secretary General Nikolay Bordyuzha, is expected to focus on establishing a joint system of air and missile defense of the CSTO and organizing management of the Collective forces of the bloc. The parties will also sum up major joint operations and training this year and measures to improve training of troops of the CSTO member-states at military institutions. The Military Committee of CSTO will discuss measures to improve coordination while conducting military exercises, deputy secretary-general of the security bloc said. “In particular, serious faults were found in the cooperation between the forces and means,” Valery Semerikov said, adding that similar issues are to be discussed at the Council of collective security involving heads of states due on December 23 in Moscow. The chiefs of General Staff are expected to test modern multimedia while observing the training of groups of strategic forces of the Central Military District, an official spokesman for the district, Colonel Yaroslav Roschupkin said. “The issues of
conducting multi-service force groupings during simultaneous actions
during air and missile strikes and fire causing damage to all targets”
are to be worked out during the training, he said. |
