In May, the Russian and Tajik armed forces also held drone drills in Tajikistan's Pamir Mountains to practice using drones against illegal armed groups in areas of high altitude.
On Friday, clashes between Tajik government forces and an armed gang in the capital of Dushanbe and in the city of Vahdat, located some six miles away, left over 30 police officers and nine gang members dead.
