The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine announced the transfer of Russian Tor-M2 air defense systems to Belarus

Russia continues to transfer military equipment and personnel to Belarus, gradually increasing the grouping of troops on the territory of the republic. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is closely monitoring the situation, not excluding the possibility that a joint Russian-Belarusian group will strike from the north.

Russia transferred Tor-M2 anti-aircraft missile systems to Belarus, and at least 15 anti-aircraft systems arrived at the Lesnaya station of the Brest branch of the Belarusian Railway. The echelon was formed in Yeysk. According to Ukrainian intelligence, the Lesnaya station is actively used to unload Russian military equipment that arrived in Belarus.

It is assumed that the newly arrived anti-aircraft systems in the republic can be used to cover military facilities where Russian troops are stationed, and in case of a possible offensive, to cover the advancing troops from the actions of the Ukrainian aviation.

Earlier, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that Russia had concentrated on the territory of Belarus about 9 thousand military personnel, as well as military equipment, including Tanks, BMP-BTR and artillery. This number is not enough to carry out a full-fledged offensive from the northern direction, but the Belarusian military may also join the Russians, allegedly up to 15 thousand. As expected in Kyiv, this option is quite possible. A joint grouping of 25 thousand military personnel, reinforced with armored vehicles and with air support, is capable of breaking through the defense being built by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the border with Belarus.

In the meantime, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is forced to keep significant forces in the northern direction, although it does not observe preparations for an offensive from the Belarusian territory.

to cover the advancing troops from the actions of Ukrainian aviation.

Does Ukrainian intelligence believe that they still have combat-ready aircraft (if not a flight, then into the ground) or does it expect that it will be NATO? What we will cover and from what it is already our business, but it’s time for your air defense to prepare quadruple Maxim machine guns.

Unfortunately there are, and more will be coming soon. The flow of weapons from all over the world is simply fabulous.

[Fisherman]

yeah .... they will bring ... analogues of our S-125 1961, very funny.

"Earlier, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported" ... author, do you have a source at the headquarters? And you know the numbers and the composition of the troops)

[Uprun]

No, they are reprinting an intelligence report from the Pentagon a week ago.

Brest? It pleases, there is a stone's throw to Lutsk

[g_ae]

Well, it flips, so what? After 2020, we do not owe anything to the Sumerians and do not owe them anything. Already the maxim that the Sumer will eat bread with you, and then you will spit on your plate, was fully known. If you have to live near a rabid dog, you need to take security measures. That's all.

[Fisherman]

but great news! Especially if it turns out that the complexes went to Brest ... this means a strike from the north-west of Ukraine to cut off the border with Poland, there the air defense will be very useful to land the psheks deeper into the ground, because they will rock the boat with their aircraft to make a corridor for the withdrawal of their military men (who changed their chevrons to Ukrainian ones and went to kill Russians).

less than 15 anti-aircraft systems

they'll just stand there...
while dill shelling Donetsk and Belgorod ...

[cat hippopotamus]

Here it is not there for you, and it is not here for you. (joke). But in principle, if we deploy a grouping in Belarus, it is clear that we need to think about air defense as well. After all, on any plane you can cross the border and gouge the accumulation of troops into the trash. And then say that the Russians fired on themselves. And near Donetsk there are TORs, and even if not all of the missiles are intercepted. But here they are vile warriors, more often they prefer to hit their howitzers and, alas, you can’t intercept the shell.

[Sedoy]

it's clear what needs to be...
the question here is not this, but what this group is doing there, while there is a "shortage" in the Donbass ...
the old man openly said that they would not go to Ukraine from his territory ...
it means that all this is not for a "strike from the north", but a cover for the dad from the possibility of attacks on him (either dill, or psyakrev) ...
those. there is no help from him, and our people there support him in a chair ...
only...
there is no other conclusion...

There is a food base near the Lesnaya station. Russia periodically delivers products there by trucks.

And what is it that strains the Nazis' coming out so much? TOR M2 is an excellent short-range complex, purely defensive weapons. That's when the "Eskanders" are unloaded there, then push yourself.
