PS. I forgot to mention - there are plenty of images available for this hook. See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Zapad_2013

You'll want to add an image to this page for it to be considered for the nom. I can tell you that as written, that article would deserve {{lead too short}} and you should consider expanding it.--Laun chba ller 12:55, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer: I have expanded the lead. I am not sure how to add an image it post-nom. But I'd suggest File:Zapad-2013 strategic military exercises (2101-09).jpg. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 00:02, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By finding another nom that does it successfully and adapting it. I'll leave it to you to add a caption and will call for a reviewer.--Laun chba ller 15:50, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
