Russian military arrive at Termez training ground for Hamkorlik-2026 exercises

The Uzbek-Russian maneuvers are being held at the Termez training ground and will last from October 20 to 27. To reach the site, the Russian column overcame more than 300 km of mountain roads in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Along the route, it had to overcome steep climbs, descents, and narrow serpentine roads.

The column consisted of BTR-82A armored personnel carriers, Ural trucks, and special machines on KamAZ chassis. At the training ground, the military began servicing the machines and preparing them for the active phase of the exercises.

Military personnel from the two countries will together learn to detect and destroy small groups of conditional illegal armed formations near the border. In addition to mountain and assault units, the maneuvers will involve operators of reconnaissance and strike drones, ground robotic complexes, and Mi-24 helicopters.
