Defense Express conducted a localization of the units of the russian army, which are deployed on training fields in Belarus

The deployment of the so-called "joint groups" of the armies of the russian federation and Belarus, which began in mid-October, continues in the country.

Since then, official Minsk regularly announces the arrival of russian regular troops in the country, publishing numerous photos of how the russians are greeted with bread and salt.

According to this information, as well as data by the Belarusian Gajun community and information by own sources in Belarus, Defense Express conducted a localization of the units of the russian army that have been transferred recently, which is at least 10 echelons with troops.

There was recorded a transfer of a large part of the units of the 2nd Motorized Rifle Division of the 1st Tank Army of the Western Military District, which will be unloaded at the stations Polonka in Brest Oblast, Losvido and Zaslonovo in Vitebsk Oblast.

The location is currently determined as follows: the 230th combined military training field (approximately up to 1,500 personnel), the training field of the 103rd Airborne Brigade of the Armed Forces of Belarus (approximately up to 1,000 personnel) and the 19th Separate Mechanized Brigade (approximately up to 500 personnel).

At the same time, it is only a part of the forces that the russian federation plans to transfer to Belarus, as the total number of the russian troops is expected to be nine thousand people.

So far the configuration looks like a strengthening of the grouping simultaneously in two directions: on the south-west and north-east, but all of them are actually on the same Brest-Vitebsk axis. And the distance is about 500 km, which corresponds to the distance of a standard march.

Defense Express reminds that the General Staff of Ukraine has already announced about a real threat of the russian federation resuming hostilities directly from the territory of Belarus, and the aim of the strike may be to block the transport corridor from Poland. Also, the army of Belarus has already put a tactical mark.
