Poland is going to guard the border with Belarus with tanks

Poland is deploying Leopard 2A5 tanks to the Belarusian border, Polish Minister of National Defense Anthony Macerevich said,  Sputnik.by reports .

“The statement of the Polish Minister of Defense that they are only going to protect the borders with the advancement of about 114 tanks of three modifications at a distance of less than a day's crossing from the border with Belarus upsets the balance of forces. This endangers the territory of Belarus,” political analyst Alexander Tikhansky said in the Sputnik multimedia press center.

Discussing the security of Belarus, he recalled the “West” exercise, which caused a stir in the foreign media and noted that fantastic scenarios were assumed.

“For example, they talked about punching the Suwalki corridor from Belarus to the Kaliningrad region. The Ukrainians, on the other hand, believed that Russian tanks would reach Kyiv. Moreover, the involved forces were exaggerated: according to official data, about three thousand Russian military men took part in the exercises, and Turchynov (Supreme Commander of Ukraine - Sputnik) called the figures about 150 thousand, ”the political scientist recalled.

Tikhansky believes that "the hysteria was due to the need to attract attention and increase military spending", this is especially true for Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, where the greatest hype took place.

He noted that the scenario of the exercise was defensive, its purpose was to work out a plan to combat illegal armed groups. At the same time, when the Anaconda exercise was taking place on the Vistula, "the offensive nature of the development of the exercise scenario was visible."
