The President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko has announced that Belarus and Russia will deploy thousands of troops in a joint military task force in response to the attack on the Kerch bridge in Crimea on Saturday.

Belarus which is de-facto part of Russia has been used as a staging post since the start of the war and Lukashenko claims there has been aggravation on the western borders.

Lukashenko is also allowing Vladimir Putin to stage a potential offensive in Ukraine and it is expected that the Kremlin will โ€œcall up 500,000 mobilised soldiers.โ€

Lukashenko has ordered Belarusian railway workers to prepare the infrastructure as there will be a large number of trains carrying tens of thousands of troops and military hardware.

On 30 September three Russian Su-30 fighter jets have arrived at a Belarusian military airfield for the first time since March.

The Hajun monitoring project who are based in Belarus said, this batch of Su-30SM fighters was expected to be delivered in October.

The Hajun report said, โ€œThree Su-30SM multirole fighters of the Russian Aerospace Forces have entered the airspace of Belarus today and landed at the Baranovichi airfield.

โ€œIt is worth recalling that the last flights of Russian fighters between Russia and Belarus were at the end of March.

โ€œAt that time, planes were leaving our country. The remaining small part of the aircraft at the airfields โ€˜Baranovichiโ€™ and โ€˜Lidaโ€™ are used to train new pilots of the Russian Aerospace Forces.

โ€œIn October 2022, the delivery of the second batch of Su-30SM fighters to Belarus was expected.ย โ€œBut today fighters arrived not from the factory, but those in service with the Russian Aerospace Forces with registration numbers RF-81772, RF-81760 and RF-81758.

โ€œThe monitoring group Belarusian Guyunโ€™ continues to monitor the actions and movements of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus on the territory of Belarus.โ€

Military expert Oleg Zhdanov said, โ€œIt is quite possible that the Russian Federation, expecting to call up 500,000 mobilised soldiers by the end of the year, wants to deploy a grouping of troops in Belarus.

Military expert Oleg Zhdanov said, โ€œIt is quite possible that the Russian Federation, expecting to call up 500,000 mobilised soldiers by the end of the year, wants to deploy a grouping of troops in Belarus.

โ€œThe only question is what they will arm it with, because there is hardly enough equipment for such a grouping in Belarus.

โ€œAnd Lukashenka will not give away equipment from military units under any circumstances, itโ€™s his security.

โ€œSo, I do not exclude that Russia may start transferring mobilised troops to Belarus and try to form there an offensive grouping to re-enter Ukraine.

โ€œHow successful this will be and how successful it will be for the Russian Federation โ€“ weโ€™ll see.

โ€œBut so far the situation is such that the Belarusian railways are preparing the infrastructure to receive a large number of cargo trains.โ€
