Separatists of the so-called Luhansk People's Republic will hold "tactical exercises" next week according to separatist commander Andrey Sevastyanov. Information about the exercises was disseminated by the separatists’ media.
According to Sevastyanov, they are now holding “preparations for tactical exercises.” According to the exercise plan, yesterday, separatist units were brought to the highest degree of combat readiness, moved "from places of permanent deployment" and "converge in the training ranges".
Further, as the Commander noted, when signaled by the alarm, the separatists will move "toward the designated areas" where they should be "deployed in battle formations and destroy the hypothetical enemy.”
Sevastyanov also said that “all types of weapons” currently used by the so-called “people’s militia” will be used in the exercises as well as “all the types of modern equipment and armor”. The LPR army intends to use tanks, armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles and other type of equipment during their exercises, the commander added.
