US general stresses need for exercise using 18,000 troops on Russia’s flank


A massive US-led war game seeing thousands of troops carrying out an exercise in countries bordering Russia is incredibly important, a senior American general has said.

Sabre Strike, a large-scale military drill, involving more than 18,000 personnel from 19 different countries including the UK, has been taking place across Lithuania, Latvia, Poland and Estonia.

Now in its eighth year, the US Army Europe-led exercise centres around a hypothetical attack, aiming to test the response and military cooperation between countries.
