Quote: "According to the plan of the Commander of the Air Force and Air Defence Forces of the Republic of Belarus, the air defence forces of the regional joint forces of Belarus and Russia have been ramped up."

Details: The Defence Ministry reported that anti-aircraft and missile units had moved to their assigned areas and taken up combat duty.

Background: British Defence Intelligence reported in a recent review that while Russia maintains a significant number of troops in Belarus, they are unlikely to constitute a credible offensive force, and the new deployment of Russian aircraft does not appear to be in preparation for any additional offensive operations against Ukraine.
