The Belarusian Armed Forces detect drones that accidentally enter their airspace and respond when there is a threat to critical infrastructure or the population, as reported by the Secretary of the country's Security Council, Alexandr Volfovich.

“Every day, Russia and Ukraine use a large number of unmanned aerial vehicles in their territories (...) The group of electronic warfare stations deployed by Russia to counter these drones affects their trajectory, so, for objective reasons, some of them fly over our eastern borders,” the Belarusian secretary told the Belta news agency, quoted by Sputnik.

The official also stressed that the Belarusian military monitors these incidents and has their own means of radio-electronic combat that affect drones and prevent them from flying arbitrarily on the country's territory.

“We took appropriate measures, we applied radio electronic suppression to the flight of drones. If they pose a threat to critical objects or populated centers, we deploy combat aircraft and use weapons for their destruction,” he said.
