It was decided to “increase” the combat readiness of the Belarusian army after the downing of planes and helicopters in Russia, the official president of the Republic of Belarus explained.
The self-proclaimed President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, during a visit to the Central Command Post (CKP) of the Air Force and Air Defense Forces (Air Force and VPO), said that Belarusian troops have been on high alert since May 13 This was reported by the Belarusian pro-government news agency BelTA.
“If there are no big reports. Let’s look at what is happening in our country, especially in the air. We often talk about the security of our state, especially in the airspace. As far as I can see, the situation is not critical now. But nevertheless, there are worrying factors,” said the formal head of state.
According to him, the troops are on high combat readiness for several days. The head of the ruling regime of Belarus was also informed that on Saturday, after the incidents in neighboring Russia, the Belarusian Air Force and Air Defense were transferred to the number one level of readiness.
“Three days after the events near us. I mean in the Bryansk region (RF, – ed.), when four aircraft were shot down. We were forced to respond to it. Since then, we have been more alert – our troops “Therefore, I am interested in the situation across the country. And, of course, the directions and prospects for the development of this situation. In short. Without threats. About what is happening and what we expect in the short term,” Lukashenka said.
Recall that the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted that Russian propaganda puts forward different versions about the downing of planes and helicopters in the Bryansk region on May 13. However, in general, it can be noted that the propagandists “started hysterics.”
