Russian Military, Equipment And Armament Delivery To The West-2025 Exercise Will Start Via BelZhD

As soon as next week.

- According to the information at our disposal, at present the military communications authorities (VOSO) of Belarus and Russia with the participation of the Belarusian Railway (BZhD) are actively cooperating on the issues of organizing the transfer of Russian military equipment, ammunition and personnel to the territory of our country by railway transport," notes the "Community of Railwaymen of Belarus".

In the coming weeks the so called "event" will begin. - in the coming week.

There is currently no reliable information about the volume and timing of these shipments, but the data on the previous such "event" in 2021 are presented by the following figures:

The total number of cars loaded at Russian stations and delivered to the stations of Belarusian Railways amounted to 1,286 units. A total of 100 passenger wagons for the transportation of Russian Armed Forces personnel, 1,094 railway platforms for the transportation of equipment, 88 boxcars, of which half - 44 units - were used for the transportation of VM class cargo (explosive materials), as well as 4 gondola cars, all used for the transportation of VM class cargo.

The echelons were loaded at the Russian stations of Ilyino, Nara, Pochinki, Rostov-Yaroslavsky, Seletino, Cherekha and Shchelkovo from July 20 to August 19, 2021.

The arrival of all military echelons at Brest-Yuzhny, Lesnaya, Polonka stations, where they were unloaded and the subsequent return of cars, was carried out between July 22 and August 21, 2021.

Materials on the preparation of BZhD for military transportation by rail as part of the exercise "West - 2021"

The average time of delivery of one military train to the unloading station of BZhD was about two days.

Based on the statements of the authorities, one can make an assumption about the locations of these exercises. Since a sufficiently large amount of equipment and personnel are expected to be involved, the use of large training grounds is quite reasonable. These include the Lepel training range, the 227th Combined Arms Training Range and the Repische military training range, which are located respectively near the railway stations of the Belarusian Railway Zaslonovo, Borisov and Osipovichi.
