Ben Hodges asks Moscow to allow observers to the Caucasus-2016 large-scale exercise

The commander of the US Armed Forces in Europe, Ben Hodges, said that Moscow should allow Western observers, including the Western press, to attend the large-scale military exercise "Kavkaz-2016", reports RIA News.

The exercise will take place in September in the south of Russia. As the commander of the Southern Military District Oleksandr Galkin noted earlier, "during the exercise, the actual state of the combat and mobilization readiness of the troops to fulfill the tasks will be checked."

“Russia would indeed be able to allay fears and provide some kind of stability if it invited observers. Frankly, it would greatly help reduce anxiety, ”Hodges said, adding that the Russian teachings“ do not have enough transparency. ”

He also recalled that Russia sent its observers to the NATO maneuvers Anaconda-2016 held in June on Polish territory.

Recently, Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov said that military attaches accredited in Moscow are scheduled to be invited to the most significant episodes of the exercise.

Maybe he also has the keys to the apartment, where the money is?

[Pavel1]

if EW techniques are used in the exercises, then the presence of strangers in the exercises is absolutely unacceptable due to the fact that frequencies can be recorded by any small-sized receiver built-in say with a telephone. EW is a very secret weapon at the moment.
In short, a curious Barbara in the bazaar tore off his nose ...

No ... they want to make sure they die! To stink on the heights of the world that we suck ... this is not an alarming thing! But nevertheless, they want to see everything with their own eyes and to do it in the Soul ... Only it is unlikely to lead to stability

[Lekov L]

Here is another nuance!
I understand that some of the exercises will be held in the Crimea ..
And Kiev think that all foreigners who entered the Crimea without the permission of Ukraine commit a terrible crime and will be punished for it ...
Oops!

It's one thing to stomp your feet on reporters and small parliamentarians who are not the most calibrated caliber, and another is the Whole General From the Master!
And to take note of the presence of very official Western observers in the Crimea means that it is ours.
Here is what a conflict looms ...

I would have allowed a couple of generals to the Crimea to admit to the wards when disembarking marines.
Ours are not stuck in the sand.

Best regards, colleagues

Why should they look at military exercises? To be afraid ?: This is stupid. They strongly invite Russia somewhere to their teachings?

Read the article carefully! Russia sent its observers to NATO maneuvers "Anaconda 2016" !!! Monitoring the state of potential "partners" is a reciprocal process!

Russia sent observers to NATO maneuvers

You do not find that there is a difference between the teachings of the country's army on the defense of the territory of the country specified in the constitution and the exercises on the territory of third countries.
Call me the exercises on the territory of the USA to which Russian military observers and the Russian press were invited?
So there’s less nonsense and stupidity. NATO has not allowed Russia to monitor a single EURO missile defense facility, but it also refuses to sign a paper stating that it is not directed against us.
Now, with a brazen face, they still require us to allow them to take part in the exercises to stop the threat that they created for us.

GG citizen, judging by the profile! Less nonsense and stupidity .... That you advise your wife! And to the Ministry of Defense, send a petition for classifying the AK47. And separate the flies from cutlets. What does the euro have to do with it? I don’t even want to write further; I laugh with you!

[faridg7]

Well, ours may have gone there just neighing (with Nata at the circus exercises, hello), but they have nothing to do on our teachings.

Do we have nothing to show partners? And the Alexandrov Red Banner Song and Dance Ensemble? And the hit of the season "Buranovskie grandmothers"? And the horsemen of Kadyrov! And tasting of army dry rations and wines of Stavropol and Crimea mixed with Kalashnikov vodka, enhanced up to 45 degrees. And how actively they will "sniff out" the smell of the places where lamb barbecue is prepared according to the old mountain recipes! And the demonstration of the newest bras - unloading size 6 - have you thought about it? There is more than to surprise partners in Russia

[The black]

The guys have completely turned brown ...

No entry for unauthorised people! They themselves said NO to Russia, and now listen to the ECHO: NOETT

[Evil543]

And we need it?

[roman72-452]

Actually, the cards are revealed, we opponents, as they are already hiding in Washington, have no reason to invite them.

[Prisoner]

Can I smear his face with jam? You can not come to us, "isolated" we. Seriously, it's a pity for men. They can move off from what they saw. Then they will start to poke from skyscrapers, you won’t hold it.

[wandlitz]

IMHO. Let them come. Let them fear us in plain sight. And then come up with all sorts of phobias ...
Maybe from what he sees it will become easier (in the sense of easier ...)

"suppress" sounds promising
Mikhalkov has already been invited to stage the exercises ... let those "tired of the sun" watch! it's a pity if the heat subsides ... set the time - mid-day somewhere in the Kalmyk steppes, take it out in a decommissioned UAZ - let them see that they have "torn the economy to shreds" - and "lose" them for several days there, they say, there is nothing to take out and there is no connection

[Vicbr]

Amazing arrogance

[Mountain shooter]

Do they want to see how the Russian economy, tattered to shreds, straining its last strength, bleeding, will expose a dozen rusty tanks from storage, and the Iskanders, launched with the help of the "bull" of the senior officer (we don't have electronics!) fly away into the unknown, scaring away the steppe animals?
Well, we need to show them such a performance to calm down. Moreover, to spread the rumor that we ordered tanks for "Tank Biathlon" in China, and UVZ is a fake. And the well-dressed and smiling people on Tverskaya are entirely KGB agents (ugh, FSB), and foreign cars on the streets are tuned Zhiguli In short, Ostap suffered. We must invite them, we must. On whom else special departments to train? But what to show - this is the question.

[aba]

It must be answered that the results can be seen at the request of partners anywhere in Europe or America

[avg-mgn]

However, as agreed by the parties. The plans of the states bordering with the districts receive annually, their representatives are allowed (as far as possible for episodes), but NATO !!! by agreement.

[Orionvit]

Let them watch the Army Games, and military exercises, this is a purely personal matter of Russia. It’s the same as inviting observers on the wedding night, they will admire, and they will also begin to advise. Is it necessary?

[Viktor fm]

Ben Hodges asks Moscow to allow ... First you need to prove aptitude.

[Warchild_83]

Tank biathlon is the ultimate dream. With the rest, everything is in the garden, led by Hodges.

[Belarus]

.... Moscow should be allowed RIA Novosti reports to Western observers, including the Western press, to attend the large-scale military exercises "Caucasus-2016".

There is no need to threaten Russia, otherwise “Moscow should be allowed.” Oh tyzh of the general occupation army in Europe, could you go to the garden as soon as possible and for a long, very long time.
Yes, it just infuriates when some and somewhere general says what Russia needs to do, and even in a menacing tone, Skye.

You see how they all know where to follow! Only they forget about themselves, but meanwhile we can also indicate the route. Three funny letters ...

[Belarus]

Well, almost to the south, only somewhere very south where it is very hot - to hell !!! And by the way, we can say that this is also almost three letters.

[gladysheff2010]

To organize the broadcast of the most significant moments of the exercises by Russian television. Let them watch and rejoice for us and be upset for themselves!

[skarl]

Any intelligence methods are good ... It’s always fun to watch military experts in the guise of journalists ...

[Alex Xorkam]

If you ask, then you probably need to invite. While there is no request. It would be good to reduce their anxiety, this is their opinion. Maybe you better worry. Therefore, it is necessary that they ask please invite our observers to your maneuvers. Then why not invite. EW is not a one-time toy and getting into the zone of its action by observers will not make them useless.

Military attaches are not allowed! The military attaché is the same intelligence officer "in law"! The less a potential enemy knows about our Armed Forces, the better!

[lopvlad]

immediately after the United States allows Russian observers to attend every large-scale exercise of Americans in the United States.
I remind you that Ben Hodges handed awards to punishers from the ATO in Ukraine.
Russia is open to the whole world, but letting everyone openly record on camera and equipment how it will defend its territory in a given situation is idiocy.

[Mercenary]

You watch on TV (if they consider it necessary to show) adversary!

[masiya]

Here they clucked, they were told: "Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov said that military attaches accredited in Moscow are planned to be invited to the most significant episodes of the exercise." so let them be content.

[KRIG55]

Moscow should do what it considers necessary, and not what someone Hodges demands. On its territory, we are free to do whatever we consider necessary.

[pofigisst74]

Can’t he smear the back with gooseberry jam? Before the Patriotic War, the Germans also traveled around the country - sniffed out. And are these the same?

[greenk19]

Let Western journalists ask. Those probably already cooked up articles with photos and videos from computer games.

[Sergey956]

What problems? If these are CSTO exercises, then why not invite? And if this is a purely Russian exercise, what should NATO do in the Russian exercise? Do Americans invite Russia to their national exercises?

Yeah, names, appearances, passwords. In 3 copies. Damned bourgeois. Nobody has yet canceled military secrets.
