It's been more than 60 years since Russian and American troops joined hands on the Elbe River to symbolically bring an end to Nazi Germany. Now troops from both countries are back again on the same ground training to combat a newer threat – the threat of terrorism.
The main goal of these peacekeeping exercises is to be able to work as one army in any circumstances.
Since 2004 it’s already the third joint Russia-U.S. military exercise of that kind.
