Karnaukhov: Western opponents irritated by Union State smart army

Western opponents are seriously irritated by the powerful military training of the Union State army, believes political analyst Sergey Karnaukhov.

According to him, not only neighbors, but their curators are also closely watching the joint exercises. In this situation, when the world is being reshaped anew, it is important for the two states of Belarus and Russia to act synchronously focusing on common problems and threats.

Sergey Karnaukhov, political scientist, associate professor at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration:

There are exercises of the defense departments of our states going on now. Those military tasks that are being solved within the framework of joint exercises cause fear in our closest neighbors. They are afraid that the military machine will get creative in solving military and political problems. They see now that it's no longer a theory, they see that we're not running through the streets with old rifles, they see hypersonic missiles. They see warships in the Mediterranean Sea. So in fact we show the military might of two states, and, once again, we solve problems in a creative way. So these are not just exercises where tanks roll out onto the battlefield and shoot - no, they see a smart army. Of course, in these conditions everything possible will be done to create military hysteria, hysteria about a potential invasion by Russia.
