200 kilometers with a deviation of 30 meters. But what about the size of the Baltic along and across?

It would be foolish not to try new technicians during the exercises, if we test the new Syria, not only in battle, but in local climatic conditions as it will. ..

Belarusians will supply us with Chinese missiles for heavy MLRS

They already release them themselves

China is growing rapidly in the defense industry. They are already copying from him, and soon they will begin to steal

It is possible in more detail, while it seems that only the engines and the GOS are still Chinese

"Cayman" is not an armored personnel carrier, but an armored car.

[rzaruba]

This is not an armored personnel carrier. “Cayman” is a reconnaissance and patrol vehicle, they crossed the BRDM-2 and BTR-60, and that’s what Cayman was made of. Some say so that it is supposedly a deep modernization of the Soviet BRDM-2.

Ha, "Polonaise" ...
... Well, gentlemen, Europeans, let's dance? !!!

In August 2016, they wrote that (MLRS) Polonaise was adopted by the 336th artillery brigade of the Armed Forces of Belarus.
The fact is that the range of the rocket seems to be already over 200 km, (and 200 - this is quite a lot) evil tongues say that almost up to 300 km. It seems to me that this is not at all any MLRS, but quite even operational tactical missile systems?
