The new 2021-2022 academic year has been declared the year of combat training in the Armed Forces of Belarus.
And taking into account the difficult military-political situation and the "migration crisis" created by Western countries, the process of preparing the Armed Forces has been significantly adjusted, said the chief of the Belarusian General Staff of the Armed Forces, First Deputy Defense Minister, Major General Viktor Gulevich.
"We are forced to respond to increased military activity along the outer contour of the State Border of the Republic of Belarus. Since 2020, we have recorded a constant increase in the intensity of flights of reconnaissance and combat aircraft of NATO member countries along the State Border of the Republic of Belarus," the press service quotes him as saying.
The Belarusian Defense Ministry also announced its intention to increase the intensity of combat training to "prevent a sudden attack" on the country.
