The Ministry of Defense has started preparations for one of the
biggest military exercises of the year, the "Caucasus-2012" drills.
The exercises are taking place in Southern Russia, Abkhazia, South
Ossetia and Armenia in September 2012.
One purpose of the large-scale drills this year is to prepare the
Russian military for a possible armed conflict between the US and
Israel on the one side and Iran on the other.
"It would be a good demonstration of new Russian military power,"
Viktor Mizin from the Institute of Strategic Assessment told RT. "We
will show that Russia has undergone a revival of its military power,
and is now becoming not only a major economic and political player,
but also a major global military player."
