MINSK, 12 October (BelTA) – The State Secretariat of the Security Council has launched the second stage of an inspection of military units and subunits of the Armed Forces that was initiated by the president of the Republic of Belarus, BelTA has learned.
In the first stage, tank and mechanized units advanced to the training grounds via a combined method and occupied their staging areas, confirming their readiness for intended missions.
