For a new ground invasion on the territory of Belarus, there are not enough units indicated in the GUR.
Belarus poses a danger to Ukraine due to air and missile strikes, but no ground invasion attack has yet been observed.
This was stated by the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense Vadim Skibitsky in interview with RBC-Ukraine.
“The territory of Belarus takes us for terrorism, and today it is primarily the threat of missile strikes, both air and ground.
In his opinion, this is a serious task of air defense systems – this is the protection of airspace, however, they are also re-equipped to be able to receive strikes against ground targets.
“We see how they are actively working when Tu-22 bombers come in at some sites, C-400s detect the bombers closing on the ground,” Skibitsky said.
The representative of the GUR noted that the accuracy of the systems when working on ground targets can be reduced, but since the warhead of this missile contains approximately 6,000 small fragments, they are applied to personnel and the civilian population.
“The air component is Tu-22M3 bombers that can carry air-launched cruise missiles – the same X-22s, meeting (August 24, – ed.) were fired on our territory, including Shepetovka. at a high level,” Skibitsky said.
At the same time, there are not enough employees for new land-based employment in Belarus.
“We see neither the transfer of the ground component, nor the build-up, nor the creation of any offensive groupings. Skibitsky.
According to intelligence, the Russian military on the territory of Belarus is now nearby.
“There are also two communication centers permanently located there. Thus, the territory of Russia’s land invasion from the territory of Belarus today is at a low level, it is minimal. It will grow if the deployment of a powerful land component starts there,” Skibitsky said.
