In accordance with Lukashenka’s order, a sudden inspection of non-strategic nuclear weapons carriers is being conducted in the Belarusian Armed Forces. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Belarus.
A squadron of Su-25 attack aircraft of the 116th Assault Air Base and the 587th Separate Missile Divizion of the 465th Missile Brigade armed with the Iskander-M missile systems are involved in the inspection. A unit of the 336th Rocket Artillery Brigade armed with the Polonez-M missile systems will also take part in the drills.
It was noted that “the entire range of activities from planning, preparation and use of strikes with tactical nuclear warheads” will be inspected. In particular, the issues of supplying special munitions to military units and their loading on launchers (attachment on aircraft) will be worked out.
As part of the inspection, some of the aviation forces and means were redeployed to a reserve airfield. According to our information, today at least two Su-25 attack aircraft flew from Lida airfield to Machulishchy airfield. It’s also planned to send units armed with the Iskander-M and Polonez-M systems to position areas.
The inspection began amid the announcement of preparations for the Russian drills on the use of tactical nuclear weapons. Belarus’ inspection is ‘synchronized’ with them.
The Asipovichski and Nioman training grounds are likely to be used for the inspection.

Units of the 19th Mechanized Brigade are being withdrawn from the area bordering Lithuania
According to our information, units of the 19th Mechanized Brigade stationed in Ashmiany and Pastavy districts are returning to the permanent deployment point (Zaslonava, Lepel district).
We recall that in mid-March, the brigade’s units were redeployed to the area bordering Lithuania as part of the combat readiness inspection. In total, the Belarusian military were there for almost two months (from March 14 to May 6).
On May 6, a military cargo train with equipment of the 4th Separate Tank Battalion (military unit 22092) was being formed at Ashmiany station. The battalion was stationed in the vicinity of Tsentseli village (Ashmiany district). The unit marched in a combined manner (by public roads and as part of a military cargo train) and has already arrived at the permanent deployment point.
On May 6, a train with equipment of the 1st Selarate Mechanized Battalion (military unit 14398) was being formed at Pastavy station. The battalion was deployed in the vicinity of Yushkoushchyna and Padaliany (Pastavy district). And in the morning of May 7, the train was moving from Pastavy station to Kruliouschyzna station. Also, today a convoy of vehicles was moving along the R45 route (Pastavy - Hlybokaye) escorted by traffic police.
As we assumed earlier, the units of the 19th Mechanized Brigade had been stationed in the area bordering Lithuania at least until the end of April.
According to preliminary information, the 19th Mechanized Brigade will be replaced by one of the units of the 120th Mechanized Brigade in the area bordering Lithuania.

Ei ehitata kaitserajatisi, ei suunata suuremaid üksusi piirile, ei tõhustata piirivalvet jne jne Pigem on usutavam, et eriüksused pagulasi suunavad ja mahitavad, relvastatud eriüksus isegi mingi objekti sabotaažiks on suht loll idee, eriti kui on võimalus, et see "eriüksus" täiega vahele võib jääda.
