Belarusian soldiers were sent to Russia: how the enemy can use them

The Ministry of Defense of Belarus recently published a video where part of the Belarusian military is preparing to be sent to Russia for training. During the classes, Belarusians will learn from the experience of the so-called “svo”.

On air 24 Channels ex-SBU employee Ivan Stupak suggested whether Russia could recruit Belarusians into the ranks of its army. Let us recall that the self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko allowed the use of military infrastructure and airspace for Russia’s invasion and shelling of Ukrainian cities. However, the Belarusian military is not participating in a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.

What could be behind the transfer of troops to Russia

At first, Russians and representatives of the Wagner PMC came to Belarus and conducted training, and now Belarusians are being picked up and taken to Russia. In total, there were about 2,000 Russian military personnel located on the territory of the Republic of Belarus.

The trend is not very pleasant. I’m not saying that they will immediately be thrown into war, but such a transfer personally worries me. We need to see whether this will be a limited batch, or whether Belarusian military personnel will be taken away from time to time,” Stupak said.

In his opinion, it is unlikely that Belarusians will be involved in the war in Ukraine, but this option cannot be excluded. Perhaps the Belarusian military will guard objects on the territory of the aggressor country in order to remove Russian troops from there and send them to the front. In this way, the Kremlin can balance human resources.

The Belarusian army is sterile and zero. It is important for them to learn from combat experience, because Lukashenko understands perfectly well that NATO countries have a technological advantage. Ukraine has a technological advantage, as well as an extremely motivated, educated and experienced military. The Russians also have experience, but the Belarusians have nothing,” noted the ex-SBU employee.

The last great combat experience of the Belarusians was during the Second World War. They also participated in the Soviet Union’s adventure in Afghanistan.

Besides, Alexander Lukashenko is now in a losing situation. He is forced to travel around the world, negotiate partnerships and cooperation.

Will Russia encourage Belarusians to participate in the war

Perhaps the Kremlin will even recruit Belarusians into the ranks of the Russian army.

“This is the second option, which is less pleasant for us. However “everything is possible and we are not ruling out anything, but here we need to observe very carefully and not draw premature conclusions,” added Stupak.

What is the situation on the border between Ukraine and Belarus

The situation on the Belarusian border is calm, but for the military this is not a reason to relax. The Ukrainian Armed Forces noted that the situation could change at any moment, and our defenders must be ready to repel the invader.

Despite the absence of hostilities, in the Northern operational zone in every direction commanders do not sit idly by.

A typical set of combat training activities in units serving in the Northern operational zone includes an obstacle course, assault on premises and strong points, and provision of primary medical care. assistance and evacuation of the wounded.
