Fortunately, there is everything for this; after the collapse of the soviet union, it was possible to give a second life to Key Facilities and enterprises, and this applies not only to our defense industry, although millix 2023 was really impressive, but the factories and farms that received a second life made it possible not only to throw away Raw Materials at bargain prices, but trade in finished processed products. Economically profitable chain grain, feed, meat and dairy. And the markets for sales are bottomless, russia and asia. Want to buy more, become more active african partners. Well, lets not forget about our regiments; even the poles, those who are fed up with warsaw propaganda, are filming the real picture. We keep visas in mind here. But in the trends of social networks, there are such shameful videos for the western authorities, footage from britain and the United States against the backdrop of a shortage of infant formula. And by the way, this is about who has it, what it looked like and how it turned out, but here we need to think a little more. Here is another main topic of the past week. In matters of defending the fatherland without showing off, for which fortified areas are needed, we will prepare in advance for defense their homeland in the directions of probable attacks of our state, whether in the west they see red lines and a button of the same color, border, counterattack, we will go through current topics with a military expert. It seems that people with common sense do not currently exist in power, all the intricacies of the militaryIndustrial Complex, as well as how our Defense Sector went through the decline of the nineties to its formation, the state should not remain unarmed, the right decision was made, all enterprises that are related to the defense complex, united by a podges. In at the same time, warsaw is spinning the military flywheel to capacity, stimulating financially potential fighters. If they wanted to create such a division. Within 23 years they will have to announce a general conscription. The plans are too ambitious, lets look into the disposition. Helping the children of donbass means breaking the rules, where is the logic. The red cross has taken up arms against the belarusian office. The board of the Organization Called on the belarusian red cross to relieve shevtsov from his post by november 30. Why the eu is formally worried, but allocates even more weapons for the conflict in ukraine, forgetting about the europeans, the real problem is the Italian Government, they steal more than migrants, funding for wars is on pause after macarthy left, thanks to the kiev laundry of corruption, which works nonstop, then the most honest, former minister reznik, will buy for her daughter a house in the canals, for some 7 Million Euros, then elena zelskaya, the demonstrative purges at the bank do not impress even washington, well, the new ones are even better, how are belarusians coping with the consequences of restrictions, in plans for the next year to increase its presence in the far arc countries by at least 20 , and why not, of course, first of all africa, you try to feed hungry africa, what the notorious Food Security consists of, and how Economic Development is related to income twenty fourth year, an indicator of reducing production costs, it is through reducing costs that we must achieve a slowdown in inflationary processes in the country. Forecast from the chairman of the board of the Development Bank. Creepy footage of another splash the palestinianisraeli conflict has spread all over the world. War comes unexpectedly anywhere on the planet. Among the victims, unfortunately, there are also belarusian citizens. Our countrys embassy in israel is in contact with their relatives. We are also monitoring the situation. Well, as we see, it can blaze anytime, anywhere, and we can only guess what comes into the minds of our western neighbors, ignore the militarization of the region, and expect a repeat. Were definitely not planning on 1919 or 41. Therefore, great efforts by the authorities in recently, they have been aimed at strengthening our security, primarily military. The militarypolitical situation around us is not becoming simpler; on the contrary, it is only becoming more complicated. Minsk has been pushing its line of defense for a long time, building it consistently and openly. Belarus does not harbor any aggressive plans; it only thinks about how to protect itself. Well, here, the better we prepare. The greater the chance of preventing a war from starting. The commanderinchief sets real tasks, to always be able to inflict unacceptable damage on the enemy, so that they think a thousand times, before attacking us. Do we take into account the lessons of ukraine, of course. Militarystyle events on the president s schedule make it tense, but nothing extreme. Alexander lukashenko came to the bresse region to see how the states defense is being improved, using the example of a training facility. One of the approaches to ensuring reliable protection is the creation of fortified areas that can withstand air raids and artillery strikes, as they say, hold back the enemys onslaught. Alexander lukashenko was shown how the personnel are accommodated. The conditions are spartan, but these are military people, they are accustomed to this. How life is arranged, how the command and observation post works, the president is categorically against showing off, and he will tell people in uniform, im not going to fight. To defend our homeland in the directions of probable attacks of our state, this is what we are preparing for; there will be several larger centers along the perimeter of our border, taking into account modern wars. Here was created taking into account the military operations in ukraine, taking into account the instructors, thank you, mvk wagner, who they came and told us, showed us what it was like in battle, the differences were small , although there were some with the knowledge that we have, but they were there, there were significant differences, and we are implementing these recommendations, guys, i already said ours with pleasure, we trained , this experience of modern war, we have fully assimilated it, by the middle of next year we will have everything we need in full, communications, reconnaissance, drones, attack drones including, well , active protection, thats all you saw today is the defense of our state, we we do not build up armed forces at the borders of, say, poland and the baltic countries, in order to attack them, we do not do this, but as you just heard, while defending ourselves, we will do this actively, so that at any moment we can go on the offensive if we will need it for this. This is work on the ground, and elements of drones in the air and as reconnaissance, we are not talking about the more powerful weapons that we have today, in order to show that our power to inflict on the enemy is unacceptable. We will not buy thousands of tanks, we have the funds for this there is no possibility, but we have, as always , the opportunity to inflict unacceptable damage on him. Therefore, do not worry, we are preparing to defend the fatherland together with you in a real way. The president was shown promising weapons, including for counterbattery warfare, the essence of which. Have time to leave unharmed. Well talk about domestic developments a little later, but for now heres an experts view of whats happening in the region and minsks tactics. We are in contact with a military expertanalyst, editor of the magazine arsenal of the fatherland, alexey lionkov. Alexey petrovich, hello, this is how you assess the fact that the belarusian leader pays so much attention to defense. You know, there are a number of prowestern Political Forces that are turning everything upside down. Accusing us of aggression, although from the opposite side we see everything exactly the opposite. Why is it so important today to keep your finger on the pulse . You see, any leader of a country is, first of all, the supreme commander. And check the armed forces with inspection, especially in such a difficult time, when on the western borders of belarus the polish military is rattling weapons, escalating the situation, talking. Everyone has some fairy tales about aggression on the part of the union state and russia , including, of course, thats what the armed forces are for, to preserve sovereignty and this is their main task to protect sovereignty in the event of western aggression, to begin fulfilling their immediate responsibilities. And you also need to understand that in the west they generally allow such extremes when they say that poland is considering the question of whether it is worth intervening in the ukrainian conflict there or is it worth whether to send their armed forces to belarus, that is, this is the kind of rhetoric , as if belarus does not exist on the map, it is generally they are going to walk freely there, it is clear that behind such lightness of rhetoric there are some kind of crazy plans, therefore any commanderinchief, and especially the supreme commanderinchief, will, of course, check his armed forces, well, make a couple of statements , while you need to understand that belarus is not alone, as they think in the west, they think that belarus is itself, russia itself in itself, no, we have a union state, a number of documents were signed , some of which are not disclosed, but they relate to militarytechnical cooperation, and most importantly, they relate to the fact that if suddenly some madman starts some kind of a military adventure against the republic of belarus, as they say, it will not seem enough for us, of course , we do not threaten, as the nato countries do, we warn that we will not give offense to the republic of belarus and we will protect our fraternal people with all the arsenals that we have there is, including nuclear, all this hysteria, tanks in the port of klaipeta, polish fences, countless lines of military equipment along the perimeters of the union state, on the other side they generally understand that the game with the red button can end in tears, you know, this is the impression that is created, that people with common sense in the west do not exist in power now, because they somehow got it into their heads that. Since they have armed forces, that means they can do anything, we , of course, will not be the first to use everything our arsenal, but any aggressor must understand that for him this will be the end of his statehood or his civilization, so we kind of have our finger on the pulse, the red button, but if so to speak , by and large there are no restrictions to start it, the west thinks that some. But i would like to remind the same west that there was an agreement that it would not advance the nato bloc to our borders, but it forgot about it and promoted it, but the time , lets say, for concessions is over, our nuclear arsenal, or rather Strategic Nuclear forces will be updated by 100 , which the west, for example, cannot boast of, besides, our militaryIndustrial Complex is working at full strength, but integration with the defenses of belor also brings a certain result, therefore, as they used to say, the romans are sevespatsum parabelom if if you want peace, you have to prepare for war, unfortunately, this formula is still tenacious in the 21st century, it is a relic of the past from the 20th century, say, the geopolitics that the west pursued for a century, but in the 21st century this formula does not work, then those who hold on to this formula, they are doomed to defeat and perhaps disappear from history altogether, because the world will no longer tolerate such aggressors. Another important thought of the belarusian leader is that zelsky is now forced to beg, beg, because he has no choice, he was promised support by both the United States and the eu, and as a result, they asked whether you agree with this, and the whole notorious counteroffensive, than could it ultimately end for the ukrainian people . You know, the famous american politician, henry kissinger, once said this the phrase that it is dangerous to have the United States as an enemy, but even more dangerous to have as a friend. Zelsky and his entourage were no exception ; before that, lets say, the government in afghanistan led by goni was convinced of americas friendship when america considered that their interests in afghanistan were no longer present. Well just abandon them, how it ended, we know that that terrorist group taliban, it very quickly seized power in the country, everyone who was surrounded by goni and did not have time to leave the country was subject to repression. The gonni government was completely dependent on western supplies, weapons, instructors, finances, and so on, and this did not help them survive. The same thing happens to zelsky and his circle as soon as this military assistance to ukraine and other Financial Assistance ceases. The state will begin to fall apart, of course, from all this most likely only the United States of america will benefit, which is now, under the guise of a special military operation, robbing its partners. Throughout europe, exports everything valuable, exports capital, removes industrial technological sites on their territory, i hope that in the future they will win the battle for hegemony over the world, but the situation is such that most likely their plans will be difficult to implement, if not implemented at all, the old world will unfortunately collapse for those who lives in it, unfortunately, will collapse with many losses , not only economic, but most likely associated with human lives , lets say, the start of this collapse of the western world, or rather its civilization, will most likely be the defeat of ukraine. Thank you we talked with military expert and analyst, editor of arsenal of the fatherland magazine alexei leonkov. Military experts analyze how modern conflicts proceed; they are based on artillery warfare, drone warfare, automated control systems, and modern software. Ensuring how important it is to have your own weapons and developments Alexander Lukashenko said 10 years ago, when the events in donbass were just unfolding, they still remember how it all began, the maidan escalated into a hot war, even then the president of belarus was farsighted directed the development of the domestic military industry, because the combat potential of any state rests on this, lets look at these shots. Nobody will sell you anything. If you dont create it yourself, even if you agree with someone today on the development of some types of weapons, you must keep in mind that tomorrow this partner will leave you, no one will give or sell, even for a lot of money, what we have today we need promising types of weapons, you see this in the example of our neighboring ukraine. It is necessary to equip our army with modern highprecision and effective weapons. The equipment must provide the armed forces with security, high mobility, controllability, and the ability to conduct reconnaissance and deliver precise fire strikes over long distances. In this regard, i would like to remind you once again of this wisdom if you want peace, prepare for war. On the. There is no threat of war today, but the army must be armed in a timely manner. Well, as we see, there is a result; our partners, in the person of expert leonkov, are already talking about highquality integration with our defense enterprises. And today, even despite the sanctions collective west, the Defense Sector of belarus is a prosperous and dynamically developing industry. But it was not always so. After the breakup. Soviet union, Many Belarusian Enterprises of the militaryIndustrial Complex were on the verge of closure. Orders from moscow disappeared, earnings disappeared with them, people began to quit, over time the shortage of specialists turned into a real problem, of course, to the delight of the collective west, but by the end of the nineties the industry had a new breath. Create your own weapons and modernize on your own. This thesis of the president has become fundamental and we are talking not only about heavy equipment, small arms, sights , counterradio intelligence devices, drones, communications equipment, this is only a small fraction of what the state committee for military industry produces today, more than a thousand units in total. The past and present of the countrys militaryIndustrial Complex will be discussed in the following material. Midnineties, the once powerful army of the soviet union is divided. The combat potential rests on the weapons that have entered the troops. Also in the eighties and seventies, the army of that time was like a hero, formidable, but not agile, a similar situation is developing at the enterprises of the militaryIndustrial Complex, for example, the military unit in borisov, which specialized in the repair of air defense and air defense systems, remains without a Government Order from moscow, and as a result, without a means of subsistence , unemployment set in, and real unemployment, they worked 34 hours a day, 34 days a week, forced vacations, a period came when it turned out that the plant will cease its research part, the plant will cease to exist. Such a difficult situation affected both the people, professionals in their field quit, because they could not feed their families with a penny salary, and the combat potential of the army, despite the fact that the armed forces of independent belarus inherited a large amount of military equipment, use it if necessary, it was almost unrealistic, because a huge part of the military masses was a pile of scrap metal, the state should not remain unarmed, it was decided the right decision, all the enterprises that are related to the defense complex were united by the podges military industry, life did not become easier, because in general, the enterprise must work, must earn money, the state Industrial Complex will not bring you anything, but simplifying certain points, yes , this. Removed some unnecessary tasks that may have been unusual for enterprises, something had to be done with a huge amount of military equipment, the state militaryindustrial committee that appeared at that difficult time did an excellent job coped with this task, some were written off, some were repaired, but
