Quote from Lukashenko: "I would like to note that despite the unprecedented sanctions pressure, we produce enough weapons and military equipment for the needs of the Belarusian army.

This is due to the fact that everything we need — I mean weapons, ‘steel’— we can easily get from Russia. And as for microelectronics, optoelectronics, optics, and other things, kudos to those who have preserved the production that we inherited from the Soviet Union. Thus, together with Russia, we can produce any type of weaponry."

Details: According to Lukashenko, Belarus produces so many weapons that it "can also afford to export these products to 57 countries, which it does".

He also added that Belarus "successfully develops modern weapons" not only in those areas where it has "scientific and technical achievements and competencies," but also is mastering "new areas in demand: rockets and large-calibre artillery ammunition".
