In the Republic of Tajikistan, the final stage of the trainings "Indestructible Brotherhood-2019" began
Military contingents from the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tajikistan participated in the counter-terrorist operation. The first to repel the terrorist attack began the military officers of the 201st Russian base and air assault company. Aviation of the Central Military Region relocated to the Republic of Tajikistan for the training “Indestructable Brotherhood-2019”. They temporarily suspended the enemy attack, but the criminal gangs continued to drive the units of the collective forces. Then the defenders intentionally retreated deep into the Republic of Tajikistan and, dragging the terrorists into the "fire bag", struck the enemy.
The artillery with the "Grad" multiple rocket launcher systems finally helped to deal with the bandits. From the air, troops were covered by fighters and helicopters. Helicopter carousel: CSTO troops near Afghanistan's borders annihilated "militants". The surviving formations of the terrorists began to retreat, but the pilots beat them completely by "fire" carousel.
Recall, that the trainings “Indestructible Brotherhood - 2019” are held in Russia, the Republic of Belarus and the Republic of Tajikistan. In Mulino, backup folks and supplies trained their skills, then intelligence established interaction at three Belarusian training grounds in the conditions of maximum secrecy, and then the strike forces entered the battle.
