  • Story Text: The first Russian-United States (U.S.) joint military exercises - "Peacekeeper-94" - continued on Sunday (September 4) at the Totsk military base in the Ural mountains near the border with Kazakhstan.

    On Sunday the "peacekeeping forces" started co-operative drills. The joint rapid reaction forces were introduced into an imaginary "Atlantis" state where an armed conflict broke out.

    The two countries' units have established liasons and started joint patrolling and interactive drills in the area.

    The blue helmets (peacekeeping forces) are training in actions such as rebuffing a break-in of terrorists into the conflict zone, supression of unlawful action of local police and even handling drunkards.

    The weather in the region was dry but cool on Sunday, with the temperature five degrees Celsius below zero (23 degrees Fahrenheit).

    U.S. infantrymen, who have experienced exposure to tropical climates, are now acclimatizing to the cold Russian autumn.
