Still Soviet-made? And how much ambition Poland has. Regional leaders beat up.

The Ministry of Defense of Belarus explains where everything is going. That is why all these gestures of Poland.

The Defense Minister of Belarus said that 18 American F-16 fighters are ready to take off from airfields in Poland in order to overthrow President Lukashenko.

Viktor Khrenin said this at a meeting with the participation of the head of state. The military leader's report was shown on the air of the Belarus-1 TV channel.

Khrenin noted that a difficult situation may develop in the western regions of the country, where the population is exposed to propaganda that speaks of "ethnic and cultural belonging to one of our closest neighbors."

According to him, "destructive forces supervised by the special services of Western countries" can penetrate into Belarus "by infiltrating through the western border." At the same time, the West will operate with the concept of "genocide of one's own people" and will resort to military intervention.

Dear sirs! What are you as masochists? Well, you don't like the planes of the USSR, well, write off Soviet planes, do not suffer, and you will feel better right away. Buy a thousand penguins and you will be happy.

Of course, I am not an expert, but "interaction" is, by definition, two-sided. What if AWACS can load "additional" into the firmware? ;)
