Top 5 important military events in 2022

Top 5 important events in the military sphere in 2022. Looking ahead, we note that Russia's special operation in Ukraine and the notorious mobilization, which in fact turned out to be an ordinary reconciliation of the registration data of persons liable for military service, were also included.

Western trends are still seeping into our consciousness. We, too, were tempted by the ratings and decided to compile the top 5 important events in the military sphere in 2022.

There is no question about the first place. Unfortunately, of course, it is the Russian special operation in Ukraine. It has turned everything upside down. And even recognized analysts suddenly turned out to be so-so analysts, because almost no one had predicted even the fact that the operation was inevitable. Then, when the experts came to their senses and were bolded again in their versions, they again sank into a puddle. As it turned out, no one was able to not only predict the course of events that would follow, but to explain them clearly.

At number two we will probably place the consequence of the special operation - the formation of the battalion of tactical groups near the southern and western borders. The mission is to level terrorist threats, sabotage groups, weapons trafficking, and to cover Russian troops from a blow in the back.

"Everyone understands the responsibility of this task, is deeply aware of the importance of these activities, everyone is sympathetic and responsible, everyone fulfills their tasks in full," says a member of the special operations forces.

The third position is given to technical equipment. Here again, the influence of hostilities in Ukraine is felt, as well as the build-up of NATO forces in the region. Minsk had to respond with Iskander missile systems and S-400 surface-to-air missile systems. The troops actively recruited electronic warfare systems and unmanned aerial vehicles. By the way, the topic of drones was actively discussed in October at the Obuz-Lesnov Proving Ground with the participation of the President, when the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces was presented with the novelties of the military industry.

The current fourth line would have been unambiguously first in previous years. We are talking about the largest maneuvers of the Belarusian army in 2022 - the command-staff exercise of the Armed Forces. It was held in September. The exercise accumulated all the latest military developments and allowed a comprehensive assessment of the potential for change.

As for the closing quintet, I think we should mention an ordinary event, but one that showed the distinctive feature of the Belarusians as defenders of their families and their country. It's all about the notorious alleged mobilization. They advised our guys to do just about everything in 2022. They advised them to flee the republic, to evade summonses, to surrender, because they predicted war with the Ukraine. And in fact it turned out that there was an ordinary verification of the military registration data. Despite all intimidations and horror stories, the Belarusians did not run away. Our compatriots came quiet and disciplined to the enlistment office and said that if necessary, we would fall in line. That, in my opinion, is the main result of a difficult and controversial year.
