CSTO peacekeepers on the “Indestructible Brotherhood – 2026” repulsed the attack of a conditional enemy on a humanitarian convoy

In Belarus, at the Losvido training ground during the command-staff exercise with the CSTO peacekeeping forces “Indestructible Brotherhood-2026”, units repulsed the attack of a conditional enemy on a convoy with humanitarian cargo. This was reported in the CSTO, writes sb.by.

During the exercise, issues of organizing safe transit of vehicles and unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid to the population were worked out. Special attention was paid to escorting humanitarian supplies, which required coordinated actions of various units and the use of special equipment.

The mixed column, which consisted of armored personnel carriers and trucks, moved under reinforced cover. The airspace was controlled by a pair of Mi-35 helicopters. Exploration of the route was carried out using a UAV. To protect the column, a guard was formed, including armored personnel carriers, a mobile fire group, and electronic warfare equipment.

According to the plan of the exercise, a conditional sabotage and reconnaissance group attacked a humanitarian convoy during the movement. Motorized rifles of the Central Military District (CVO) under the cover of BTR-82A armored personnel carriers worked repelling an attack using standard weapons of combat vehicles and AK-12 assault rifles. At the same time, the EW complex successfully neutralized part of the explosive devices, minimizing losses. Despite the damage to one of the vehicles, the rest of the equipment quickly came out of the shelling and continued to move.

To provide fire support, mobile reserve groups were quickly introduced, which destroyed the remnants of the sabotage and reconnaissance group.

In Belarus, a command and staff exercise with the CSTO peacekeeping forces “Indestructible Brotherhood-2026” and a special exercise with the joint formation of the CSTO RHB protection and medical support “Barrier-2026” are being held. The exercises are attended by contingents of troops (Collective Forces) of the CSTO of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan. Among them are military contingents, units of internal affairs bodies (police) and the national guard, as well as operational groups of the Joint Staff and the CSTO Secretariat. To perform combat training tasks involved about 40 units of military and special equipment, including armored personnel carriers, tactical all-terrain vehicles, ATVs and motorcycles. In total, more than 1,500 servicemen and more than 300 units of weapons, military and special equipment are involved, including about 80 different types of UAVs.
