Military Expert Stepanov: Europe Deploys Offensive Infrastructure along Belarusian Border

Major projects like the Wall of Drones and the strengthening of the Western military-industrial complex indicate the growing militarization of Europe. Experts point out that Poland is actively expanding its military classroom network, and Latvia is beginning to install "dragon's teeth" along the Belarusian border.

Alexander Stepanov, military expert at the Institute of Law and National Security at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (Russia):

"We see that a clearly offensive military infrastructure is being deployed along our entire border, along the border with Belarus. Its elements include, of course, the layered air defense and air defense systems, which have been activated since the early 2000s, supposedly to counter the threat from Iran. We understand that a defensive perimeter was actually being formed to block our offensive systems and possible countermeasures to their aggression. Next, we now know that the Drone Wall project is developing. This is, de facto, a comprehensive approach—the formation of a distributed network of manufacturing facilities (you could call it an expeditionary military-industrial complex) for the mass production of various types of UAVs. And this, incidentally, is happening with the participation of the United States of America, which, firstly, owns the majority of the assets of the European military-industrial complex, and secondly, localizes the production lines of its tech giants, such as let's say Anduril".
