A few days ago, the joint military exercises between Russia and Belarus officially kicked off, although the two countries have repeatedly stated that the purpose of the military exercise is to test the "integrated defense capability", but the United States and other Western countries have determined that this is a "war rehearsal" against Ukraine, the Patrol of the Russian Tu-22M3 "Backfire" bomber over Belarus, have been interpreted by NATO as a nuclear threat to Ukraine and NATO countries, in the words of US President Biden, that is, "the situation will soon be crazy", and the Americans should immediately withdraw from Ukraine. Lest Russia and Ukraine go to war and harm themselves.
Following the transfer of 3,000 U.S. airborne troops to Eastern Europe, the U.S. Air Force recently announced that the 8 F-15C/D fighters of the 48th Fighter Wing have flown from Britain to Poland, an Eastern European country, and the Danish Air Force's F-16 fighters have been stationed at the front-line base in front of Russia' doorstep. It is reported that the US military fighter jets will provide air support for the three Baltic countries, Poland and other NATO allies, in addition to the above 8 F-15s, there are more fighters will arrive in Eastern European countries, the West believes that this will give the "Polar Bear" tit-for-tat military pressure, making Putin more cautious on the Ukraine issue.
The United States and its allies are so confident in the arrival of several fighter jets because they are prepared. According to the scene photos, the F-15C/D of the US military stationed in Poland this time carries the AIM-120 medium-range air-to-air missile, and compared with the F-15E "Attack Hawk" that mainly fights against the ground, the F-15C/D is a professional air superiority fighter, and at the same time has the ability to fight beyond the visual range, is the main fighter of the US Air Force, and has experienced the actual combat test of many local wars.
According to reports, recently under the escort of a number of Su-35s, Tu-22M3 bombers have carried out at least 2 combat readiness patrols over Belarus, of which at least 1 carried KH-32 supersonic cruise missiles, and the US military believes that this missile can carry a nuclear warhead and pose a serious threat to the entire European region. U.S. military experts believe that Russia has recently frequently dispatched "backfire" bombers to show muscle, and the F-15C/D has the ability to hunt russian bombers, the arrival of this fighter is enough to make the Russian army more vigilant, even if the Russian Air Force deliberately deployed 12 Su-35s in Belarus, it can not prevent the US fighters from "sniping" at Russian bombers.
The United States and its allies are worried that the number of Russian troops currently deployed in Belarus is "too large", in the name of participating in the exercise, more than 30,000 Russian troops have been stationed in Belarus, while there are 2 battalions of S-400 long-range air defense missiles, as well as an unknown number of Iskander tactical missiles, although Moscow said that after the exercise, the above troops will be withdrawn home, but NATO and Ukraine are still worried, this is just the Russian side's rhetoric.
NATO believes that if Putin makes up his mind, the Russian-Belarusian coalition forces, which have just participated in the exercise, will directly march south into Ukraine and take the shortest route to capture Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, while the more than 100,000 Russian troops deployed in the eastern border areas of Ukraine are just a cover, in order to attract the main force of the Ukrainian army, make the Ukrainian rear troops empty, and create favorable opportunities for the "blitzkrieg" of the Russian army.
