The exercises took place directly in the area of eastern Aleppo, where the Syrian army was fighting against Islamists a few weeks before. Police groups practiced the principles and tactics of urban warfare.

The last stage of the exercises was at the shooting range, where the Syrian law enforcement showed a result equal to that of their Russian colleagues.
