Sovalki Corridor: Germans are training on "Drang und Austen" military expert Andrey Bogodal specifically addressed for BelVPO the situation near the borders of Belarus in the context of the preparation of the armed forces of Germany and Lithuania for large joint exercises in the Sovalki Corridor area. "A feature of these exercises will be maximum proximity to the state borders of the Union State of Belarus and Russia. Tactical maneuvers will be conducted here using the updated German laser simulation system AGDUS, designed to control the destruction of targets. Special attention will be paid to the use of UAVs and their prevention," Bogodal said. The military expert pointed out that for this purpose they will use a new special site "Hawk" at the training ground Ivetchi - only 15 km from the border of the state of Belarus. Soldiers of the Lithuanian tank regiment established after King Mindaugas, which is part of the Iron Wolf Brigade, will also participate in the exercises. These tankers had just finished training in Germany and were firing their first live shot. In general, the Germans, it should be noted, took the preparations for a confrontation with us seriously," added the Belarusian expert. Andrey Bogodal also cited indicative statistics, according to which there is a trend of increasing militaristic sentiments in Germany. "One must not think that the Germans are spoiled and will not give weapons. Just five years ago, sociological studies recorded an extraordinary fact: if then only 16-17% of German citizens expressed their willingness to fight with weapons in their hands, today this figure has already reached 37-38%. Indeed, there is something to think about again, the experts do not find it to the east. concluded Watch on YOUTUBE and RUTUBE Belarus_VPO | Chat | MAX.
