Kremlin press service: issues of military-technical cooperation (including the creation of a Russian air base in Belarus) are discussed with the Belarusian side

61
A spokesman for the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, commented on the question of whether or not a Russian military airbase will be created in Belarus. Recall that a few days before the presidential elections in Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko declared that there could be no Russian air base in the country, that only Russian planes were needed for Belarus, and experienced and professional pilots “had enough of them”.

Information Agency TASS leads Dmitry Peskov's statement:
We have a rather extensive agenda (with Belarus) connected with military-technical cooperation, with interaction in the field of security and defense. In the context of allied relations, these issues will be discussed in one form or another. So far I can not say anything more concrete.


In September, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the Ministry of Defense and the Russian Foreign Ministry to discuss the creation of a Russian aviation military base and sign an agreement after such a discussion.

The Belarusian authorities have not yet commented on the negotiation process with their Russian colleagues.

On the eve of the President of Belarus, Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko visited the 120-th separate mechanized brigade and got acquainted with the upgraded weapons. A photo of A. Lukashenko from the time of the officer service was found in the brigade’s museum. News agency reporting BelTA:

        It is necessary to decide who and what is needed.
        We need a base. Its base with all the ensuing consequences.
        But Lukashenko may need airplanes, but not a fact.
        Who does the initiative come from?
        If from the videoconferencing, then it means to be a base.
        And if Lukashenko wants to buy planes, so let him buy. If there is money.
        And if there is a lot of money, then let the base be ours. Here and a lot of money will flow into the budget for renting land.

          I already wrote something, but I repeat ....

          A military base (whatever it is) is an instrument of influence on the political and military life of the state in whose territory it is located. A simple example. Crimea. One “small” base and that’s it, the job is done. Crimea returned to their homeland.

          Lukashenko understands this very well. He is not ready to give up his influence. The problem is that it is not known for certain who will come to power after the Old Man.
          But such a military base could secure the interests of Russia in Belarus. With all the ensuing consequences.

              Any military base is an instrument of influence (political and military). And if there are several such bases, and if several dozen, hundreds.

              A simple example, USA. Military bases in each satellite country (some even have a couple of hundred). And now no country is independent in its foreign and domestic policies.

If the West gives him "Free" tomorrow, he will leave us. Please remember that it was he who offered Ukraine to take us by the throat by blocking gas mains back in the 90s.

      does not want a base and, accordingly, a "satellite":

      .. a military contingent that does not obey him .. for example. With all the consequences that ensue.

      And so, IMHO - the base will still be. Just now there is a usual trade. For more favorable conditions wink

    The famous 120th Infantry Detachment BWO is still alive, then it was briefly transformed into 120 KLA (separate army corps) to act as an operational-maneuverable group in offensive operations of the front. On the basis of the division, various organizational and technical experiments were conducted as part of studies to increase the combat potential of the formations and ground forces of the USSR.

      Here we are talking among the people that Asians do not really know how to think. But look at these numbers and understand that ordinary people knew in advance that it would be better than under the USSR they would not live exactly 100 years close.

    The issues with the base are completely solvable. Moreover, despite the screams of a handful of Svidomo. common people will also welcome the presence of a Russian base. It doesn't matter how it will be called, perhaps the word "base" will be veiled. But the presence of a powerful force will only be welcomed.
    This is money and work and .... in short, everything will be fine! drinks

      The issues with the database are fully resolved.

      Solvable, then they are solvable, but who exactly will decide that ??? Whatever one may say, the decision is political, the political leadership began to be and will be decided, but it, well, the Belarusian one has already specifically said just like Borodach - "I'm not in kugse guys!"

      Here you got this base

      We in the current situation are very, especially with the possibility of placing the Su-30/34, but not fate request I hope they compensate in part due to the development of infrastructure in the Smolensk, Pskov and Kaliningrad regions.

      . But you don’t remember that Belarus and Russia agreed to create a unified air defense network by 2018.

      It's all like a single currency - a chicken in a nest an egg in a ... chicken, to be honest, already tired of writing on this topic.

        About "... not in kugs ...", this is our normal state laughing
        Flew off where the thread ... and then the "boyars" people zapadlo in the form of various resolutions presented. Well, slaves have their forelocks on end and begin to grumble!
        Now, if they grumble a lot and it can come to the "area", then "not in kugs", but if the people went for a ride, well then "in kugs".

      I agree. Near the house Ross. There was an air base there (Su-24M and Su-24MR) - there was life. They disbanded the base (apparently Old Man decided to sell the planes, while they can still somehow fly) - the melancholy is green ...
      Let's not remember the past, but look at our present. Alas, Belarus is trying, wherever possible, to get something for itself from Russia for free, believing that it should be so. Ie: "You give me, and I don't owe you anything in return!" Russians are beginning to develop this very perception of what is happening. The Russians don't like this. Probably you shouldn't like it?
      Therefore, Belarus will try to bargain for Russia unrealistic preferences for Russia. Although their aircraft are withdrawn from service and sold to third countries ...
      Is a base necessary in terms of protecting Belarus and Russia? Yes, I need it. If Belarus believes that it has no one to defend itself with, then why does it need the Army at all? Alone, the Belarusian Army is not a serious force.
      I’m just afraid that the constant wagging of the Belarusian authorities may just bother the Russian authorities. And the Kremlin will decide that it is better not to mess with such an ally on the issue of creating an air base.

    Still, all historical documents show that Belarusians were leaders in betrayal during the war years ...


    Has your head been blown away? What, think out documents ???? It is estimated that in August 1941 there were about 231 partisan detachments. 1,5 million people fought in partisan units. The leaders of the Belarusian partisan detachment "Red October" - commander Fedor Pavlovsky and commissar Tikhon Bumazhkov - on August 6, 1941, the first of the partisans were awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.

    Here you have been given this base. But you don’t remember that Belarus and Russia agreed to create a single air defense network by 2018. But we Belarusians are the first on the Western frontier of the Union states. And for some, cut yourself on the nose, BELARUSIANS were neither when nor traitors, nor when WILL NOT !!!
