Intelligence sources of Armed Forces of the Caucasus Emirate reported that a convoy of military vehicles passed on the eve on Saturday at 7 am local through the town of Engels, Saratov Oblast.
The convoy consisted of up 300 tanks, BMPs, BTRs, as well as various multiple launch rocket systems of "Grad (Hail)" and "Uragan (Hurricane)".
The operational sources report that the military convoy is moving towards Georgia.
We would like to remind that after Russian threats to attack Georgia, made the day before, many experts do not rule out that Moscow is preparing a new military incursion.
Thus Russian military expert Pavel Felgengauer predicts military operations and states that probability of beginning of war is approximately 80 %.
Felgengauer stated this to "InterPressnews" commenting on the statement of Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to Russian expert, the situation in South Ossetia is straining exactly as it was last year.
"Statements of Kokoiti about return of ostensibly Ossetian territory, demarcation of borders and reaction of Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, maybe will lead to large-scaled military actions within the last few days. Probability of new war is no less then 80%. Russian military officers know that August is the best time to begin war and September will be late", Felgengauer noted.
According to expert, there is a little chance to deny renewal of war - pressure of West on Russia.
