Pavel Latushka on how the regime is gradually building an updated repressive system in Belarus.
Recently, the commander of the internal troops Nikolai Karpenkov announced a major reorganization of special units. The special purpose detachment "Buran" in the Gomel region has been transformed into a separate military unit No. 3033. In the near future, the special purpose detachment "Shtorm" in the Brest region will also be transformed into a military unit. The Minsk military unit 3310 will become a special purpose brigade, and the capital's unit 5448 will receive the status of an operational purpose unit.
These units are being equipped with grenade launchers, anti-tank systems, flamethrowers, large-caliber machine guns, and BTR-82 armored personnel carriers. Special unmanned aviation centers are being created. There are already three such centers within the internal troops, and a fourth will be established specifically in the "Buran" detachment.
What does this mean? It means the expansion and institutionalization of forces designed to suppress internal crisis. Moreover, the regime speaks about this completely openly. Karpenkov directly stated that the reforms of the special units are being carried out taking into account the experience of suppressing so-called "color revolutions" in other countries — in Georgia, Serbia, and Iran.
And when we see how in Belarus the control over the economy and the special units for suppressing protests are being strengthened simultaneously, it becomes clear: the regime is not preparing for the development of the country — it is preparing to retain power at any cost. But such a system has a fundamental problem: it destroys the economy.
