Putin's backbone: Belarus provides large military assistance to Russia in war against Ukraine

The Belarusian military-industrial complex is assisting in meeting the needs of the Russian army on the front lines. How and why Lukashenko's regime became one of the key allies in the war for the Kremlin is explained in the material by RBC-Ukraine.
Since the beginning of the large-scale aggression, Belarus has become a key ally of Russia in conducting military operations against Ukraine.
Within the first seven months of the full-scale war, according to the Belarusian Hajun project, Alexander Lukashenko transferred over 65 thousand tons of ammunition, hundreds of T-72A tanks, BMPs, and Ural trucks to Russia. Only when Belarusian depots were depleted due to Putin's appetites, other countries, primarily Iran and North Korea, have become the main suppliers of ready-made weapons for Russia.
Russia utilizes the full range of services from the Belarusian military-industrial complex, but the key assistance lies in the restoration of military equipment damaged as a result of combat actions.
Back in 2022, at the beginning of full-scale aggression, 60% of Belarusian military goods were destined for the Russian market. Today, this figure has increased even more. Currently, 120 Belarusian plants and design bureaus are involved in the production of 1,600 types of military products and services for the Russian Federation. In contrast, 940 Russian enterprises supply about 4,000 items to 67 Belarusian military enterprises. There is no other sphere where cooperation between these countries is as close as in the military sector. Moreover, analysis of open sources suggests that the production of the Belarusian military-industrial complex is increasing. The Belarusian defense industry has also switched to military rails today. Hundreds of thousands of workers are employed in the plants, who simply cannot be unaware of where the products they manufacture are going. However, military enterprises are perhaps the only sphere where one can earn a more or less decent salary in Belarus.Show more
