Summary and Conclusions<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\nOne more\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.fo\/F4kzn\">announcement<\/a>\u00a0made by the press department of the Western Military District of the Russian army is also worth mentioning. According to it, the military servicemen and equipment of the missile brigade of the 1st Tank army of the Western Military District were loaded on railroad platforms on June 18 and transported to Minsk to take part in the parade on July 3.\r\n\r\nIt actually describes the deployment of Iskander ground-support and tactical missile systems of the 112th Missile Brigade (Unit No.\u00a003333 based in Yuzhnyi Gorodok of Shuya in Ivanovo Region of Russia) to Belarus. The unit base is 930\u00a0km away from Minsk as the crow flies and more than 1000\u00a0km away by rail.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/by\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/06\/10-2.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n<em>Iskander Ground-support and Tactical Missile System<\/em>\r\n\r\n<strong>It is well within the realm of possibility that the Russian missilemen are honing their skills in the prompt deployment from their base to the specified launch area in Belarus under the guise of their participation in the parade. This may have an assault element. It bears mentioning that Russia treats the Belarusian territory solely as a buffer zone for the potential military operations against the NATO members (first of all, Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia) and Ukraine.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nInformNapalm\u2019s Belarusian Service is monitoring the sojourn of the unit from the Russian Federation, the aggressor state, within the territory of Belarus.\r\n\r\nPlease send any information, photos, and videos of the Russian army\u2019s movement within the territory of Belarus to InformNapalm\u2019s Belarusian Service page on Facebook:\u00a0<strong>facebook.com\/by.informnapalm.org<\/strong>.\r\n\r\n<em><img class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/12\/InformNapalm_logo_05.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"89\" height=\"42\" \/><\/em>\r\n\r\nDistribution and reprint with reference to the source are welcome!\r\n(<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\">Creative Commons \u2014 Attribution 4.0 International \u2014 CC BY 4.0<\/a>)\u00a0For notifications about InformNapalm investigations follow us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/informnapalm24en\/\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/en_informnapalm\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/informnapalm\">Telegram<\/a>.\u00a0Repost and share with friends!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14730","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/106"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14730"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14730\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14732,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14730\/revisions\/14732"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14731"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14730"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
