Alabino, Russia—Participants dressed as Old Russian knights and Russian paratroopers take part in the opening ceremony of the inaugural International Army Games on August 1. Moscow created the games, a kind of Olympics for military prowess, to flex its military might and show off weapons it hopes to sell to neighboring nations such as India, Pakistan and China. Sixteen non-NATO nations were invited to compete in 13 events, including a tank biathlon and aerial bombing runs.
