MINSK, 11 February (BelTA) – A comprehensive inspection of the Armed Forces’ combat readiness continues, representatives of the Belarusian Defense Ministry told BelTA.
Control classes involving firing live ammunition out of multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS) BM-21 Grad are in progress in a military training area in the country.
BelTA reported earlier that the large-scale inspection of the Armed Forces authorized by the head of state began on 16 January. Aleksandr Lukashenko personally monitors its progress. A new system has been worked out to enable the president to place military units on combat alert without involving the Defense Ministry and the General Staff. The primary goal of this inspection is to see an objective picture. This is why the events are sudden.
