WASHINGTON \u2014 You might have been hearing about Vostok 2018 these past few days, and you might have even seen one or two ground-level photos. But have you seen Vostok from space?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vostok 2018, which is Russia\u2019s largest show of power <\/a>in 40 years, is five days of military drills and includes Chinese and Mongolian troops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The photos below were taken with DigitalGlobe\u2019s high-resolution imaging satellites (GeoEye-1 and WorldView-3) above the Tsugol training area in eastern Russia. The imagery captured an airborne paradrop in progress with Il-76 Candid airplanes in flight dropping airborne fighting vehicles, equipment and personnel with parachutes, according to DigitalGlobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The images also reveal the scale and scope of the exercise, with thousands of armored vehicles, artillery and equipment assembled in formation and conducting a parade while Russian President Putin reportedly observed the forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
