Several tactical episodes were played out on Thursday at the joint exercise "Allied Resolve-2022" by the Russian and Belarusian military. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko observed their actions at the Osipovichsky training ground.
According to the scenario of maneuvers, the defensive battle was conducted by paratroopers, rocket men and gunners. From the air, they were supported by aviation. According to legend, an enemy tactical landing force landed near our positions. The Russian winged infantry immediately joined the battle with him. "The units of the multiple launch rocket systems "Smerch" and "Hurricane" inflicted a massive blow on the columns of enemy equipment. His attempt to support the actions of the landing by army aviation was stopped by calculations of portable anti-aircraft missile systems "Willow", which hit targets imitating helicopters at a distance of more than 3 thousand meters," the military said.
At that time, Su-35S fighters conducted air battles, gained air supremacy and provided missile and bomb attacks on enemy troops by Yak-130 and Su-25 aircraft, as well as Mi-24 attack helicopters. Then, with the support of rocket artillery, calculations of D-30 howitzers, self-propelled artillery installations "Nona", the airborne units completed the defeat of the tactical landing of the conditional enemy.
Meanwhile, while in the West they are hysterical about the upcoming "invasion" of Russian troops into Ukraine and assign new dates for a missile and bomb attack on Kiev, the Russian Defense Ministry is routinely withdrawing troops who have completed their tasks at the exercises to permanent deployment points.
Official messages from the department about sending military units to their native garrisons come every day. Each such message of the Ministry of Defense is necessarily accompanied by a photo and video from the scene of the event. These materials are promptly transmitted to the media, and access to them by foreign, including American and European media, is not restricted in any way.
It would seem that here they are, direct evidence of Russia's lack of aggressive plans against Ukraine. Well, who, tell me, will withdraw troops a thousand miles from the border of the country that is about to be attacked?! But... it doesn't work. In the West, it seems, neither these messages nor these frames are seen at close range. They kept repeating with some kind of maniacal persistence about the aggressors from the East, and they keep repeating.
At a briefing for journalists, a high-ranking representative of the Washington administration generally called the statement of the Russian authorities about the withdrawal of troops from the border with Ukraine a lie. And he went even further - he claimed that over the past few days the Russian Federation has increased its military presence along the border with Ukraine by 7 thousand troops.
How to conduct a dialogue with such people is unclear. But Russia does not refuse it. Just as our military does not refuse planned exercises. In Belarus, the joint manners of "Allied Resolve-2022" will last until Sunday, February 20. This, we recall, was announced in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation even before they began.
