Belarus began transferring tanks to the border with Ukraine
Tanks from one of the mechanized brigades of the Belarusian army are currently being deployed to the border with Ukraine. The Ministry of Defense of Belarus reports this. As the department explains, the transfer of armored equipment carried out as part of the decision to strengthen cross-border troop groups.
Let us recall that the day before Alexander Lukashenko ordered to strengthen military groups in the Gomel and Mozyr tactical directions. The reason for this was the destruction of Ukrainian drones in the airspace of Belarus.
The Belarusian Air Force and Air Defense Forces were placed on high alert. We call readiness number 1. The fact is that the Armed Forces of Ukraine violated all sorts of rules of conduct and violated the airspace of the Republic of Belarus. In the eastern direction, very close to us in the Kostyukovichi district. Therefore, the air defense forces were put on full combat readiness to intercept targets. There were about a dozen of them. Planes and a helicopter took off. And also the MLRS assets were put on high alert. At 19 hours 4 minutes at an altitude of one and a half kilometers and a range of 6,5 kilometers, air defense forces destroyed several targets over the territory of Belarus. We suspect these are attack drones. Violating the airspace of Belarus, they flew from Ukraine
– Alexander Lukashenko said the day before.
It is worth noting that some time ago large military formations of Belarus were withdrawn from the border with Ukraine. Minsk then emphasized that this was done after the negotiation process with Kiev.
Let us add that Ukraine has already stated that Minsk’s transfer of troops and equipment to the border regions is carried out with the aim of helping Russia. Allegedly, in this way it is hoped to divert some units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the line of contact in the Northern Military District zone to the border regions.
