The week-long exercise between the Chinese and Russian armies in northwestern
China shows they are pushing for Nato-level interoperability – opening up the
possibility for joint military campaigns to counter their common rival the US,
military observers said.

The 10,000 troops, from the PLA’s Western Theatre Command and the Eastern
Military District of Russia, wrapped up the Zapad/Interaction-2021 exercises in
Ningxia region on Friday. The drills gave the PLA an opportunity to test its
newest weapons, as well as showing an ability to work coherently with the
Russian forces.

For the first time, the two militaries used a joint command and control system.
The Russian troops were integrated into larger Chinese formations and carried
out operations planned by the PLA, according to a statement by China’s defence
ministry on Wednesday.
