The Zapad 2009 (Russian: Запад 2009, lit. 'West 2009') exercise was held by the armed forces of Russia and Belarus in Belarus in September 2009. It involved a simulated nuclear attack against Poland (hitting Warsaw) and the suppression of an uprising by a Polish minority in Belarus, along with other operations.[1][2]
