 Belarus threatening to shoot down NATO planes. Air defense forces of Belarus will shoot down foreign aircrafts in case of border violation. This was stated by Belarusian Defense Minister Viktor Krenin, commenting on the increased number of NATO military aviation near the country's borders. If the breaks are lost on their part, of course, we will shoot down without any ceremony. He said in an interview with Russian Rossiya 24. Recently, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said that about 32,000 troops of the Joint Military Forces of NATO and the United States of America are stationed near the borders of Belarus and Russia. The appetite and activity of the Collective West will only grow. Some 32,000 troops of the Joint Military Forces of NATO and the United States are deployed in the immediate vicinity of Belarus and Russia as part of the Alliance's operations in Europe. It is more than 1,000 armored vehicles, about 160 artillery systems and mortars, 235 aircraft and helicopters. According to him, over the past few years, no state or nation can feel completely secure. Military power has once again become the main argument used by world centres to solve problems. It is as if millions of casualties and horrors did not occur in the first and second world wars. Now we are literally inundated with a wave of information about the so-called premonition of a third world war, the Belarusian President said.
