New Delhi/UNI: A 200-personnel contingent of the Indian Army will participate in Exercise Zapad 2021, a multinational military drill to be held at Nizhniy, Russia from Sept 3 to 16, an official statement said on Wednesday.

Zapad 2021 is one of the theatre-level exercises of the Russian Armed Forces and will focus primarily on operations against terrorists.

Over a dozen countries from Eurasian and South Asian regions will participate in this exercise.

"The Indian contingent has been put through a strenuous training schedule which encompasses all facets of conventional operations including mechanised, airborne & heliborne, counter terrorism, combat conditioning and firing," the statement said.

The Indian Naga Battalion group, which will participate in the exercise, will feature an all arms combined task force.

The exercise aims to enhance military and strategic ties among the participating countries while they plan and execute this exercise.
