Sensational Interview With Polish General About Belarus
17.07.2023, 10:07
[ Partial transcript of a very long interview. ]
NATO will help the Belarusians, and Lukashenka will have to flee.
An uprising is inevitable in Belarus, and the West must be ready to support the Kalinovites, who will come back to liberate the country. These words of the former Vice Minister of Defence of Poland, the former commander of the Polish Ground Forces, General Waldemar Skrzypczak caused hysteria among Lukashenka and the Kremlin propagandists.
Polish General Waldemar Skrzypchak gave an exclusive interview for Studio X-97. He told how NATO will support the struggle of the Belarusians against the regime, how the Kalinovites can liberate Belarus, why Lukashenka will face the fate of Yanukovych, whether it is necessary to neutralize Putin and when the war in Ukraine will end.

The moment of truth is getting closer.
Or rather, the time is getting closer when my oldest (from the beginning of the Syrian campaign) forecasts about the development of the situation in the “Ukraine-Turkey-Syria” connection will come true.
For those who did not read and did not listen to me in 2015-2016, I remind (point by point) my theses, which have never changed since then and have not become (in my opinion) less likely:
Sooner or later, the Russian Federation will have to enter into a direct military clash with Turkey on the initiative of the latter.
The fighting will take place in Syria, in the Transcaucasus and on the Black Sea.
The direct participation of large contingents of Turkish troops (under the guise of “volunteers” or even without such cover) in operations against our army in Ukraine and Crimea is not ruled out.
The Turks will begin to move on to a direct open confrontation with the Russian Federation after they “squeeze dry” from the Kremlin’s amazing people all the concessions that can be obtained peacefully.
Then they will begin to put pressure on military force.
The Turks will choose the moment of entry into the war, taking into account the maximum weakening of the military forces of the Russian Federation and the unpreparedness to repel Turkish aggression.
The first stage will be the closure of the Bosporus and Dardanelles for our fleet and supply ships delivering reinforcements to Syria (Erdogan may take this action to be implemented already this year).
This will be followed by a series of armed provocations in Syria by the so-called. “armed opposition” against our troops in order to expand the zone of control of the pro-Turkish authorities.
After waiting for the depletion of ammunition and supplies, Turkish troops will try to inflict a complete defeat on our expeditionary force and Syrian troops in northern Syria.
Naturally, only the Russian Federation and official Damascus will be blamed for the escalation of the conflict.
Our expeditionary corps, cut off from supplies and reinforcements, does not have the opportunity to defeat the Turkish army.
The fate of our peacekeeping contingent in Karabakh and Armenia seems just as unenviable. Which will be crushed and (at best) interned by the Armenians, or simply destroyed and captured by the Turkish-Azerbaijani coalition.
The only thing that can deter the Turks (apart from the direct threat of the use of nuclear weapons, which is fraught with a world nuclear war) from defeating our troops in Syria is the direct intervention of Iran and its readiness to directly enter into a military confrontation with Turkey in Syria and the Transcaucasus (I recall that Turkey is strenuously is now friends with the main opponents of Iran - Israel).
In any case, even if Ankara does not dare to go into a full-scale military conflict with the Russian Federation, the Turks will “strangle” our grouping in Syria, since all communications are based on sea supplies through Novorossiysk to Tartus, and blocking the airspace with Syria is also not a problem for the Turks .
The question of the timely withdrawal of our expeditionary force in Syria has long been “overripe”, but has not yet been raised as such.
A large group of our military remains “hostage” to Erdogan.
With a high probability, we can expect that the long-awaited rejection of the shameful and senseless “grain deal” will set in motion a chain of consequences that naturally leads to a sharp aggravation of Russian-Turkish relations and an acceleration of Turkey’s inevitable transition to the camp of our open enemies.
The time allotted for the possibility of evacuating our troops from Syria during the “deal” is apparently lost forever.

We still pulled out of the grain deal.
While in words. It is clear that Kyiv, with the support of NATO and, possibly, Ankara, will organize the work of the “grain corridor” without the consent of Moscow.
What am I for. That we will not be able to simply announce the withdrawal from the grain deal.
Our opponents will not react to words, but only to actions.
Therefore, we must be prepared to sink grain carriers.
Only then will our words about withdrawing from the grain deal be taken seriously

Another successful attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Crimean Bridge was inevitable due to two factors.
The first is political, connected with the policy of “agreements” with Ukraine and its allies, which the Kremlin and President Vladimir Putin personally are actively trying to pursue.
The “grain deal” allowed Ukraine to launch semi-submersible kamikaze drones from the sea coast near Odessa, as well as from sea cargo ships that provide this deal from the Black Sea.
This is also facilitated by a virtual ban on strikes against Ukrainian transport communications, as well as against production facilities involved in the production of Ukrainian Mykola-3 marine drones, as well as against energy facilities that provide these enterprises with energy.
The second factor is military-technical. The Russian army does not have weapons systems capable of successfully combating semi-submersible kamikaze drones.
Hundreds of defense industries and research institutes were deliberately destroyed in the largest de-industrialization in world history in 30 years.
As a result, thousands of technologies were lost, and in this regard, our lagging behind the advanced countries is already decades.
For a successful fight against semi-submersible kamikaze drones, their timely detection by means of space and aviation technical intelligence is necessary.
But our space grouping is extremely small in number and is not able to fulfill this task.
Our naval aviation is more dead than alive.
In order to timely detect these drones and target strike aircraft at them, it is necessary to ensure round-the-clock patrolling of the airspace over the Black Sea by anti-submarine patrol aircraft equipped with modern radar equipment for detecting surface and underwater objects.
But according to the open press, we have only 22 obsolete Il-38 anti-submarine aircraft and about 20 Tu-142s in the Northern and Pacific fleets.
All of them, in terms of their tactical and technical characteristics, do not meet the requirements of today and are significantly inferior to the modern American Boeing P-8 Poseidon anti-submarine aircraft, of which only the United States has 128 and dozens of their allies.
In addition, it is not known whether the outdated radar equipment of our Il-38 and Tu-142 will be able to provide effective detection of small-sized semi-submersible kamikaze drones. The supply of new anti-submarine aircraft for the Russian army is not even planned.
Another effective means of detecting semi-submersible kamikaze drones are airborne early warning and control aircraft (AWACS), which easily detect surface sea targets.
But even with this we have huge problems.
Our nine obsolete A-50 (A-50U) aircraft manufactured in the 1980s, due to their small number, are not capable of meeting all the needs of the Armed Forces, and we do not have the production of new AWACS aircraft.
And without long-range detection of semi-submersible kamikaze drones by technical means, followed by targeting strike aircraft at them, an effective fight against them “on distant frontiers” is impossible.
Only passive means of combat remain - blocking the Kerch Strait with booms, which proved their effectiveness back in the years of the First World War for combating submarines. Judging by today’s attack, they are absent in the Kerch Strait.
Why? Is there a large sea traffic from the Black Sea to the Sea of Azov and vice versa in the conditions of war in connection with the entry of the Russian grouping to the coast of the Sea of Azov and its transformation into the inland sea of the Russian Federation?
Is it really impossible to temporarily completely stop this traffic and thereby secure the Crimean bridge at least from the strikes of semi-submersible kamikaze drones.
I am sure that now among my readers there will be many who will begin to ask the question: “What does Putin have to do with it?”
I hope most people don’t ask this question.
