In
the course of military drills near the city of Vitsebsk Belarusian
peacekeepers learned how to fight out of ambush and chase illegal armed
groups. Live firing was exercised as well.
According to the legend of the wargame, Belarusian
peacekeepers were in the five-kilometer buffer zone between two
countries. Either of the two wanted to annex this territory, but
according to the peace treaty, their military forces were drawn off.
Illegal armed groups attempted to prevent peacekeeping missions from
completing their tasks.
One of the episodes of the drills was peacekeepers’
falling into an ambush. The convoy ‘carrying’ humanitarian aid was
escorted by machine gunners on quads and BTRs-80. However, the
Belarusian peacekeeping mission managed to fight back and even start
moving up behind ‘war criminals’. As a result, the enemies were
captured, their leader was questioned and prisoners were released.
More than 10 armored cars were used in the game which also turned out to be the first test for military quads.
