This was announced by Deputy Interior Minister \u2014 Commander of the Internal Troops <b>Mikalai Karpiankou<\/b> during a meeting with journalists on the occasion of Internal Troops Day, BelTA reports.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, in the near future the special-purpose unit \u201cShtorm\u201d in the Brest region will also be transformed into a military unit. The capital\u2019s military unit 5448 will become an operational-purpose unit, while military unit 3310 from the Minsk region will become a special-purpose brigade. In addition, a fourth unmanned aviation center will be created in \u201cBuran\u201d \u2014 three similar centers are already operating within the Internal Troops.<\/p>\n<p>Karpiankou explained the logic behind the development of special units, referring to the experience of suppressing \u201ccolor revolutions\u201d in Georgia, Serbia and Iran.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cWhile improving our organizational and staffing structure, we take into account the military-political situation surrounding the Republic of Belarus. We have tried to significantly improve not only the personnel component but also to strengthen our combat capabilities. We paid great attention to special-purpose units. Why them? By analyzing attempts at color revolutions in Georgia, Serbia and Iran, we saw that the best results in suppressing them were demonstrated by special-purpose units.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Professional, well-armed and mobile, they successfully cope with all provocations and carry out special operations to neutralize the leaders and instigators of mass unrest. The experience of modern armed conflicts has also shown that special-purpose units successfully perform a wide range of combat tasks,\u201d<\/i> he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the combat potential of the special-purpose detachments has also been significantly increased.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cThey received new weapons: grenade launchers, anti-tank guided missiles, flamethrowers, heavy machine guns, BTR-82 armored personnel carriers, as well as new unmanned aerial vehicles, to which we paid very great attention last year. We have created three unmanned aerial aviation centers within our forces. And now a fourth center will be created in the special-purpose unit \u2018Buran\u2019 in the Homiel region,\u201d<\/i> Karpiankou said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The special-purpose unit \u201cBuran\u201d of the Internal Troops in the Homiel region has been transformed into a separate military unit No. 3033.
