Russia Plans Biggest Air Exercises Since Soviet Times (Update2)

By Henry Meyer

Oct. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Russia will hold its largest air force exercises since the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union next week, while a naval convoy on its way to Venezuela stages a show of strength in the Mediterranean.

Aircraft including supersonic Tu-160 nuclear bombers and strategic Tu-95 bombers will take part in the Oct. 6-12 maneuvers in the Russian Far East bordering China and the U.S. state of Alaska and in the Volga region, the Defense Ministry said on its Web Site today.

Roughly the same time period as the European effort. Hmmm...
