Russia will bring its tanks to the Belarusian warehouses. Expert is a step towards war 2
The government approved the draft program of the Union State on the improvement of military infrastructure facilities, which are intended for joint use with Russia.
On December 6, the corresponding decree was signed by the Prime Minister of Belarus Andrei Kobyakov, it has already appeared on the national legal Internet portal. According to this document, the Ministry of Defense of Belarus is instructed to propose a draft program for consideration by the Council of Ministers of the Union State of Belarus and Russia.
Completely a document prepared by the military is called the "Union State program" Improving military infrastructure facilities that are planned for joint use in the interests of securing a regional grouping of troops of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation. "
But what kind of military infrastructure is it? Not about Russian bases in Belarus?
The Ministry of Defense: "Well, what bases?"
The correspondent of
"Svoboda" appealed for a comment to the Ministry of Defense of Belarus and asked directly: is the draft not talking about the creation of Russian military bases on the territory of Belarus?
"Well, what bases?!" - the press-secretary of the Ministry of Defense Vladimir Makarov answered. However, he did not give a detailed comment, referring to his employment. Mr. Makarov offered to call him later, but during the day his phone never answered.
Expert: "This is another step towards a future war"
"Of course, this means that Belarus and Russia are beginning to prepare more seriously for the future war with" our Western partners, "says military expert Alexander Alesin.
According to him, it is a question of placing on the territory of Belarus, in our hangars and in our warehouses, Russian military equipment belonging to the Russian units of the united regional grouping.
"Previous maneuvers have shown that if Russian units from this group are deployed in Russia, it does not take days, but weeks. After all, a lot of time is spent on loading and unloading. Therefore, another option will be chosen: the equipment and ammunition will be stored here, and the living force will be quickly delivered by air or by train, if necessary, "the expert says.
Alexander Alesin believes that in the Belarusian hangars, which were freed after reducing the stockpiles of Soviet weapons, can thus accommodate up to 300-400 Russian tanks, the necessary number of armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles and ammunition, as well as other military equipment. According to the expert, these storage facilities will remain in the Belarusian jurisdiction, therefore they can not be considered foreign military bases.
"And we'll have to pay for neighing from our budget. But the transfer of equipment, rent of railway cars and other transport losses will, apparently, cover Russia, "says Alexander Alesin.
The expert referred to the experience of the US military, who also store military equipment in NATO member countries in Eastern Europe.
"Meanwhile, the main human contingent is located in the United States. In case of an aggravation of the situation it is stipulated that civil aircraft will be rented for the transfer of forces. This practice is now expanding, "says Alexander Alesin.
Is it dangerous for Belarus?
The expert believes that according to the military plans developed by the General Staff of the two countries, in case of a military conflict with the West, the Russian part of the joint grouping should appear in Belarus when the Belarusian army already will fight the aggressor.
"Then it will be dear every hour. I think these plans will allow Russians to increase the joint grouping here, "Alexander Alesin said.
At the same time, the expert noted that the prepared plan is "one more step towards a possible war".
The use of Belarusian storage facilities by Russians is not trade in sovereignty?
"Much depends on Belarus, while these plans do not violate our sovereignty. If you take the military, then they probably will be happy, as their resource increases. Part of the equipment brought here, as promised, will be used to replace our already obsolete military equipment. As for ordinary citizens? .. Budget losses, probably, will not be very noticeable, but the losses in security - they are obvious, "- says the expert.
According to Alexander Alesin, residents of Borisov, Bobruisk, Baranovichi - the cities where the main military contingents and bases of military equipment are located - already now should feel more in danger than the inhabitants of those settlements where there are no military personnel. According to the expert, with deployment of Russian military equipment on Belarusian storage facilities, those areas will inevitably become objects of a probable attack, which means that the overall danger will increase.
"On the other hand, the Polish cities, where the US troops are located, are in the same danger. The politicians' business is not to let a situation arise when the war becomes a reality. While Belarus is less militarized territory than it was at the time of the collapse of the USSR, "says Alexander Alesin.
