Luckily #Zapad2025 is a lot smaller than #Zapad2021.
The effects of the #UkraineRussiaWar are obvious. #Zapad2025 has about 13K military participating, whereas #Zapad2021 had 200K participants. Back then military analysts joked ‘is this an exercise or a mobilisation’?
Which turned out to be partially true because a lot of R. troops stayed in #Belarus.

Some useful perspective here: #Zapad2025 is a lot smaller (15 times!) than #Zapad2021.

In summary, #Zapad2025 is more than a routine drill - it's a strategic demonstration of Russia’s military reach, Belarus' role as Moscow's forward outpost, and a warning signal to NATO amid continuing regional tensions.

What do all these military drills in #Belaris and #Russia mean? Here's your backgrounder 🔽

#Zapad2025 is a large-scale joint military exercise happening Sept 12-16, 2025, the first big drills since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

#Zapad2025 blends traditional warfare with hybrid tactics - drone incursions (notably into Poland), airspace violations, GPS jamming, cyberattacks, disinformation, and migration controls along NATO's borders.

NATO keeps eyes on the Barents Sea leg of 🇷🇺🇧🇾#Zapad2025 excerise. Right now one AWACS is north of 🇳🇴 Finnmark and a 🇸🇪 Gulfstream flies 🇫🇮 Lapland. 🇷🇺 MiG-31 conducted mock strikes with Kinzhal ballistic missile earlier this weekend.

Poland has completely closed its border with Belarus. Russia is currently conducting the West-2025 offensive military exercise in Belarus for a future invasion of Poland and the Baltics.
September 12, 2025 at 3:18 AM
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday (September 11) that the #Zapad2025 drills, including near the Polish border, were not aimed against any other country.

NATO has announced #EasternSentry - a new initiative to bolster the security of its Eastern Europe members. 😟

Belarus might be preparing war against #Ukraine
Either to the West to cut off supply lines, either to #Chernihiv, either towards #Suwalkigap
Or any possible combination

#Russland und #Belarus beginnen kommenden Monat mit #Zapad2025, einem großanagelgten Manöver nahe der Grenze zur NATO. Zapad 2021 nutze Russland damals zur Vorbereitung der Invasion der #Ukraine.

Das Schweigen der Friedensbewegung dazu ist mal wieder ohrenbetäubend

According to reports, Russia has deployed a 9K720 Iskander short-range mobile ballistic missile system in the Kaliningrad region, near the border with Poland. It is likely part of the Zapad2025 military exercises.

IMHO too small for an attack on #NATO.
