In the Republic of Belarus, at the “Lepelsky” training ground, as part of a special training with the forces and intelligence assets of the CSTO member states, “Search–2025”, intelligence agencies continue to perform tasks in designated areas.
The topic of the special training "Search-2025" is the organization and conduct of intelligence by forces and means of intelligence agencies during the joint operation of the CSTO Collective Rapid Reaction Forces (CRRF) to participate in resolving the crisis situation on the territory of the CSTO member state.
The main purpose of the training is to conduct various types of intelligence in the interests of applying the CSTO CRRF, improving the practical skills of management bodies and personnel of intelligence units.
Pre-deployed intelligence agencies detect various targets of the simulated enemy, including illegal armed formations. When they are detected, reconnaissance groups adjust the fire of weapons and other special measures aimed at destroying the identified objects.
At the same time, the intelligence management bodies collect, analyze and summarize the intelligence information obtained and bring it to the Command of the CRRF, which makes it possible to implement the "discovered – struck" principle.
During the training, the scouts take into account the experience of conducting combat operations of modern armed conflicts in planning and ways of performing tasks.
The participants of “Search-2025” are actively using various types of UAVs, thermal imagers, and the latest intelligence and communications equipment.
As part of the training, issues of organizing complex intelligence, retargeting intelligence agencies to other intelligence facilities, performing reconnaissance tasks through surveillance, eavesdropping, conducting searches and ambushes are also being worked out.
A joint training with the Collective Rapid Reaction Forces of the CSTO "Interaction-2025", aimed at working out the issues of preparing and conducting a joint operation to participate in resolving a crisis situation on the territory of a CSTO member state, a special training with forces and means of reconnaissance "Search-2025", a special training with forces and means logistics support “Echelon-2025” are being conducted on the territory of the Republic of Belarus.
