The Belarusian military is training in peace-to-wartime transition drills.

The Ministry of Defense of Belarus reported this.

It is noted that this training is taking place within the framework of checking the level of combat and mobilization readiness.

Within those activities, the Belarusian military had to advance in the shortest possible time to the designated areas, set up their engineering equipment, and organize protection and defense. Bridge crossings across the Neman and Berezina rivers were also constructed.

At first, the engineering troops carried out their tasks to set up river crossings. Then, the units of the mechanized brigades moved to the designated training grounds.

At the same time, during the check, the transfer of military equipment from the Russian Federation to Belarus continued. In particular, a Russian А-50 AEW&C plane was transferred to the Machulishchi airfield. It is now at the same location as the MiG-31K aircraft of the Russian Air Force.

It was also reported on December 23 that a batch of Russian-made Tor-M2K anti-aircraft missile systems arrived in Belarus. The batch of these weapons was transferred to Belarus and Russia under the intergovernmental agreement on military and technical cooperation.

On December 19, Lukashenko stated that the military of the Republic of Belarus had put Russian S-400 SAM systems and Iskander ballistic missile systems on combat duty.
