LEPEL DISTRICT, 4 November (BelTA) – 2025 saw the army commission over 200 samples of weapons, military hardware, and special hardware, BelTA learned from Belarusian Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin during an educational seminar held for the army’s managerial personnel in Lepel District, Vitebsk Oblast.
Viktor Khrenin said: “In any academic year the degree, the level, and the direction of training of the Armed Forces always depend on the situation around the Republic of Belarus. Regretfully, the situation is not getting better. The tensions continue rising. We see it in actions of the leadership of the collective West, in the frantic militarization, in increased spending on military needs, on buying offensive weapons, particularly in neighboring countries. Their aggressive rhetoric towards us indicates that we need to take into account these conditions and adequately respond and train our Armed Forces.”
One of the accomplished tasks is the enhancement of the combat potential by increasing the combat component of the army. “It has been achieved primarily thanks to the optimization of normal activities, by means of setting up new units and enlarging the existing ones, by merging them with commands and army units, by optimizing the managerial staff. We’ve managed to accomplish a great deal in equipping our troops with modern weapon systems. This year we’ve commissioned over 200 various samples of weapons, military hardware, and special hardware. On the whole, this year the Armed Forces have received over 35,000 various samples of hardware and military technology,” the minister noted.
A seminar for senior personnel of Belarus’ Armed Forces took place in a military training area in Lepel District, Vitebsk Oblast on 4 November. The purpose of the seminar was to get the army officers to work out unified understanding of the sequences and methods of training functionaries of military command bodies and troops in the new academic year.
