Islamabad, Pakistan: The Joint Exercise of Pakistan and Russian Federation DRUZHBA-V continues in Pakistan, and Russian Federation Special Forces along with Pakistan Army are practicing drills and procedures for hostage rescue, cordon and search operations, helicopter rappelling, and sky diving as part of DRUZHBA-V.
Since 2016, Pakistan and Russian forces are engaged in joint exercise although the arch-rival of Pakistan and historic friend of Russia—India expressed its bitterness over the close military relationship between Russia and Pakistan.
