The Southern Military District (uniting the Southern and North-Caucasian Federal Districts) intends to hold over three thousand combat training events this year.
The exercises are planned to work out the issues of creating and using groups in operational directions.
The exercise will take place near the Ukrainian border amid continuing tensions between Moscow and Kyiv.
In November 2021, a three-day military exercise of the republic's law enforcement and security units took place in Chechnya. The head of the region, Ramzan Kadyrov, ordered the placement of "sentinel points" around the perimeter of the training.
Intelligence exercises in North Ossetia, Karachay-Cherkessia and in the Rostov region were held against the background of information about the pulling of equipment to the border with Ukraine.
In October, it was reported that intelligence units of the Russian army were conducting exercises in self-proclaimed South Ossetia.
Earlier, on 10 December, more than 10 thousand servicemen were deployed at more than 30 training grounds in the South of Russia, which is about a third of the number of subdivisions of all formations and military units of the Southern Military District. For the first time, the exercises were being held at new training grounds in Ingushetia and the Volgograd region.
More than ten thousand military motorised rifle formations of the Southern Military District marched to the areas of combined arms training grounds.
Earlier, the Algerian and Russian military practised their skills in fighting terrorists at the first joint exercises at a training ground in North Ossetia, the Southern Military District reported.
The opening ceremony of the first international Russian-Algerian exercises took place on 3 October at the Tarsky training ground.
During the training battles, the military practised skills to find, detect, and destroy illegal armed formations, explosive devices, conduct radiation, chemical, and biological reconnaissance in buildings and on the ground, the head of the press service of the Southern Military District Vadim Astafiev said.
