Russia begins five-day aerial military exercises amid Ukraine crisis

MOSCOW, Russia: The five-day aerial military exercises began on Monday in the Russian central and western districts amid the crisis in neighboring Ukraine.

The exercises, which would continue until August 8, include aircraft such as Su-27 and MiG-31 fighter jets, bomber Su-34, as well as Mi-8, Mi-24 and Mi-28N helicopters.
