MINSK. April 13 (Interfax) - The Belarusian Armed Forces are actively studying the combat experience of the special military operation, Belarusian Security Council State Secretary Alexander Volfovich said.
"By studying the Russian and Ukrainian combat experience in the special military operation, we see that airborne troops [and] mobile units are involved practically everywhere there," he said, when commenting on a battalion-tactical exercise carried out by an airborne unit at the Brest firing range, near the border with Ukraine and Poland, which ended on Thursday.
"It is a good thing that the experience from Ukraine that we are studying is being used today [during the exercise]. It includes employing quadcopters for battlefield reconnaissance, countering them radio-electronic warfare and conventional weaponry, leaving positions, changing positions, moving to the flanks and to the rear of an attacking enemy group. Today, we see these maneuvers characteristic to mobile airborne operations at the firing range," he said.
Volfovich said that "the commanders of special operations forces have decided to involve battalion commanders from other military units [and] cadets of the Military Academy in the exercise."
"This was done to explain what worked and what didn't, and to demonstrate this in practice," he said.
It was earlier reported that a battalion-tactical exercise involving air assault units, artillery troops, pilots, and operators of unmanned aerial systems had ended at the Brest firing range in Belarus.
