Speaking at an internal meeting, the commander emphasized that operational options have been thoroughly studied based on various scenarios, ranging from direct confrontation to non-military measures. Preparations extend beyond technical aspects to include regular troop training and exercises.
Military analysts suggest this move reflects intensifying strategic competition in the region, as all parties bolster their presence and defense capabilities. However, detailed information about the plans was not disclosed for security reasons.
When asked about the potential for escalating tensions, the commander asserted that the ultimate goal is to maintain stability and deterrence, while calling on all sides to exercise restraint and avoid actions that could destabilize the situation.
