Darkhan-3 Mongolian antiterrorism exercises
Russian-Mongolian antiterrorism exercises have begun in the southern Siberian Republic of Buryatia, the Siberian Military District's press service said .
"About 200 Mongolian servicemen arrived to the camp. Slightly more than 60 people, mostly drivers, are still on their way," the press service said in a statement.
The drills, called Darkhan-3, will involve up to 1,000 Russian and Mongolian servicemen and 200 items of hardware. They will be held in three stages, with the active stage to begin on Sunday.

" The military exercise, Darkhan-2, is also less significant than it might otherwise seem. Much of it is based on repairing Mongolian equipment. Although the two countries billed it as a "peacekeeping exercise," similar to another just concluded by the U.S. Marines and Mongolia, that only means that the units whose equipment is being repaired are peacekeeping units, said Jargalsaihan Mendee, another analyst and a former Mongolian defense attaché in Washington. About 90 percent of the equipment of the Mongolian armed forces is of Soviet origin, and the spare parts are available only in Russia. "
