President Vladimir Putin watched some of the drills today on Sakhalin Island in the Pacific.
The maneuvers are part of recent efforts to boost the military's mobility and combat readiness.
Dozens of Russia's Pacific Fleet ships and 130 combat aircraft also took part in the drills, which began on Friday and continue through this week.
As part of the drills held across several time zones, some army units deployed to areas thousands of kilometers away from their bases.
