Belarus launches snap combat readiness checks of air defenses, air force
Belarus has launched surprise combat readiness drills of its air defense and air force capabilities, the country’s Defense Ministry announced on Dec. 15.
Unannounced inspections began across formations and units of the Belarusian Air Force and Air Defense Forces this week, the ministry said.
The units of anti-aircraft missile and radio engineering troops "moved to the designated areas" and "began to perform combat missions," it added.
S-300 and S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems, as well as Rosa-RB low-altitude radar systems are being tested.
During the inspection, the personnel will have to "perform tasks to detect and … destroy test targets," the ministry said.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
