Such exercises on the squad scale were staged in the past. 　　Currently, Liu said, China and Russia are consulting on the August joint military exercise, which will be held in the same wayand on the same scale as the previous events. 　　Liu said the reports of some foreign media claiming China and Russia will stage a large-scale army-navy-air force joint military exercise aimed at a third country are inconsistent with the facts.  Enditem --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.bacIlu Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
