Colonel Trukhan: Did they bring money to our media? Belarusian propaganda is everywhere!

Recently, Russian media have been broadcasting the theses of Belarusian propaganda in an absolutely uncritical manner, in particular, presenting the Polonez MLRS as an unprecedented weapon.

This was stated on the PolitWera channel by retired Colonel Vladimir Trukhan of the central apparatus of the Ministry of Defense, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"The Polonez MLRS was not created by the Belarusians for themselves, but for export... In cooperation with the Chinese, an MLRS was developed, where the missile is Chinese, the fire control system is also the same - in half, and the complex is quite crude. The first version was very crude, and it did not "carry out" the declared combat qualities at all," Trukhan recalled.

"The Polonez MLRS does not measure up to our models that are in the Russian Armed Forces. It is approximately plus or minus at the level of the old ones, and with the new Tornado missiles, it is absolutely nothing... It is like the powerful Belarusian army, which defeated everyone, but never went to war.

We need to find out how many of these systems the Belarusian army has. There was a division for a while, I don't know if they made more. Lukashenko himself complained that the system is very expensive.

If their Polonez is such a gem, why did they take the Iskanders? This is Belarusian PR,” the colonel added.

He wonders why Russian media often perceive information from Belarus completely uncritically, while Minsk nurtures its own version of independence.

"So, I take it our media got some money? Belarusian propaganda is everywhere. And the buzz is already, ' This is how a powerful leader would respond, not like your Putin .'"

" There's a nuclear response right now, not to mention the six months the Russians have been piling up corpses in the Kursk region ." These are quotes from a Belarusian military expert," Trukhan said, giving an example.
