Russia held military exercises throughout the past week, namely preparing for a scenario in which the Russian allied state of Belarus's government is overthrown by the West and other exercises in all areas of potential Russian conflicts. These exercises are held due to Moscow's perception of a threat from NATO. The exercises have shown some of the capabilities of the Russian military and have shown considerable growth in strength, but with some evidence of weakness in actual combat-readiness and maintenance. US military presence was temporarily doubled during the duration of the exercises.
