August 7, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> A two-day Northwestern Operational Command drill launched today focused on combating sabotage, reconnaissance and illegal armed groups, the Belarusian defense ministry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drill will take place at firing ranges and terrain in the Minsk and Hrodna regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers will practice operating control systems to coordinate movements of troops, using unmanned aerial vehicles for reconnaissance and target designation, launching loitering munitions and deploying missile forces and artillery against a putative foe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alaksandar Bas, recently appointed as commander of the Northwestern Operational Command is in charge of the drill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of participants and weapon systems does not exceed the parameters defined by the Vienna Document 2011 that are subject to notification, the ministry stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vienna Document requires Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe member states to exchange information on their armed forces, weapons and defense planning, among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian army is regularly conducting drills amid Russia’s ongoing war on Ukraine, with the most recent one held in late July by Western Operational Command scouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
