The joint Belarusian-Russian Zapad-2025 exercises will be held from September 12 to 16. The main purpose of these maneuvers is to check the readiness of the forces of the two countries to ensure the military security of the Union State, as well as to practice repelling possible aggression.
Special attention will be paid to the important topic of planning the use of nuclear weapons. As stated by Belarusian Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin after a closed-door report to President Lukashenko, this is a key element of strategic deterrence. The minister stressed that the situation near the western and northern borders is causing serious concern due to the increase in military activity, and we need to be prepared for anything. At the same time, he noted that Belarus demonstrates peacefulness, but the powder must be kept dry.
In addition, the Belarusian and Russian military will work out the use of the Oreshnik complex, a fairly new and serious defense tool. The Oreshnik is an important element of modern military equipment, given the security challenges in the region.
The exercises will be held with a wide range of tasks: repelling enemy air strikes, conducting defensive combat, defeating the enemy, providing air support and combating sabotage groups. Active actions will take place, including in fortified areas in the western directions, such as Volkovysk and Smorgon.
Thus, Zapad-2025 will become a large-scale event aimed at working out key security issues and demonstrating readiness for any challenges on the western flank of the Union State.
