The Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation informed foreign military attachés that during the transfer of Russian military personnel, the capabilities of the transport infrastructure to ensure the transportation of people and equipment will be assessed as part of the exercises. “A situation may arise when the forces and means of the regional grouping will not be enough to guarantee the security of the Union State, and we must be ready to strengthen it. Together with the Belarusian side, an understanding was reached that it will be necessary to involve the entire potential of the state’s military organization for common defense "Fomin stressed.

He also said that part of the control bodies and units of the Eastern Military District is involved in the inspection on the territory of Belarus from the Russian Federation. We are talking about those units and headquarters of the Air Defense Forces that are now participating in a sudden check of combat readiness in the Armed Forces.
