[ColonelCassad] New exercise against "Russian aggression". At least, that's what they say. In Poland, on the borders of Russia and Belarus, the situation has hardly changed in recent years. The Poles are spending money on defense against the "Russian offensive that is about to be prepared" and are militarizing the bordering regions. And from March 19 to 30, the Rozsadny Żbik - 2025 exercise is taking place in the north-eastern part of the country. The idea is that the Poles are training to defend their borders in the event of an offensive by the Russian and Belarusian Armed Forces. According to the plan, the "Occasus" alliance (as the Russian-Belarusian tandem is called in Poland) attacks in two directions from Grodno to Elk, from Brest to Warsaw, and from Kaliningrad to Bydgoszcz. Units from the 16th Olsztyn and 18th Siedlce mechanized divisions are involved in the exercise. In total, there are about a thousand servicemen and 100 units of military equipment. It is curious that the 1st, 7th and 10th Combined Arms armies of the Russian Armed Forces are considered as adversaries, with weapons including the Iskander OTRK, 152mm Msta-S howitzers, 240mm BM-27 Uragan MLRS, Buk-M1 SAM systems, Ka-52, Mi-28N and Mi-24 helicopters. The Polish command pays special attention to assessing the readiness of the defensive fortifications of the Polish troops on the Frombork-Braniewo-Bemovizna-Pakosze line. The Poles want to understand how effective the defense lines along the borders are as part of the operations Safe Podlasie and Eastern Dawn, which have been conducted since August 1. The Polish exercises near our borders are not exactly unique. They do this on a regular basis, and the aforementioned 16th and 18th divisions are now some of the most hyped units of the Polish Armed Forces. The first is equipped with South Korean K2 tanks, and the second with Abrams tanks. But now the Poles are specifically conducting combat training taking into account our weapons and the tactics of our actions in the SVO zone. At the same time, as part of the exercise, Polish servicemen first conduct defense, and then, according to the plan, counterattack on Russian and Belarusian cities. Exercises on the topic of war in the Baltics and northeastern Poland have been actively underway since 2015. |
