BARANOVICHI DISTRICT, 24 September (BelTA) – Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko went to the 230th combined arms military training area Obuz-Lesnovsky where he was made familiar with combat capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles of Belarusian make and the solutions designed to counteract drones, BelTA has learned.
Belarusian unmanned aviation complexes and unmanned aerial vehicles in addition to radio warfare solutions designed to counteract drones were demonstrated to the head of state in the military training area.
Representatives of defense industry enterprises presented information about new products and upgrades of existing models. Aleksandr Lukashenko remarked that in the course of making these products it is necessary to focus on domestic components as much as possible. “We need our own. We need everything to be of our own make,” he stressed.
After that the head of state went to a command post to observe the Belarusian drones in action. The army demonstrated several episodes of combat deployment of weapons and military hardware, including unmanned aerial vehicles, counterdrone measures, and automated command systems designed to enhance capabilities of military units.
The practical demonstration began with bombing runs that featured either drones dropping high-explosive munitions weighing from 500g to 2kg or FPV drones delivering the munitions to the target. Practical demonstration of Belarusian unmanned aerial complexes Kvadro-M, Chekan-V, Mirotvorets, and Lovchy followed. All of them accomplished their missions in full compliance with their tactical and technical parameters.
During the demonstration of how counterdrone measures are employed during combat in practice the president had a chance to see the products Zvonok and Fumigator at work. They allow military personnel to detect and prevent attacks of enemy drones against an assault team or a medical vehicle in a timely manner.
The military also presented a tactical episode to show how a breakthrough across the border can be repulsed. In order to set up an ambush along the possible axis of advance of a sabotage and reconnaissance force a squad of armored personnel carriers BTR V2 fitted with remotely controlled combat modules Adunok BM30.2 was deployed. The main armament of the module is the 30mm automatic cannon 2A42 paired with the PKT 7.62mm machine gun. The module is also fitted with the anti-armor missile system Konkurs-RB and the smoke grenade launcher 902V.
The sabotage and reconnaissance force was hit by the fire of the armored personnel carriers BTR V2 and the Belarusian grenade launcher Sapfir. The latter has two operation modes: contact and trajectory. It can also fire clusters of up to four munitions for higher density of fire.
The demonstration ended with practical work of a battery of multiple-launch rocket systems BM-21-B Belgrad-2, with fire adjustment provided by the unmanned aerial complex Berkut.
Representatives of the State Authority for Military Industry of Belarus stated that the demonstration once again proved that Belarusian weapon developers keep up with the times and are capable of meeting modern challenges and threats to military security by helping accomplish combat missions in a modern firefight.
