President Vladimir Putin ordered the surprise drill to check the alert status of all forces in Russia's Eastern Military District on July 12.
The exercise is believed to be the largest of its kind in the post-Soviet period.
It includes naval forces, strategic bomber units, missile-defense units, tactical and strategic missile units, and infantry and armored units.
An unspecified number of Tu-95MS strategic nuclear bombers were reportedly being readied for combat missions at an airbase in the Amur region.
A tank brigade with some 100 tanks made a 1,100-kilometer rail journey from Buryatia to the Tsugol testing ground in Chita Oblast.
Putin has said he might personally participate in the drill.
