Belarus is deepening its military-industrial integration with Russia, as outlined by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) according to UATV English. Moscow is incorporating elements of Belarus' defense-industrial base into its own production and repair systems, potentially enhancing Russia's military capabilities for a prolonged conflict in Ukraine.
Belarusian opposition group BELPOL claims the 558th Aircraft Repair Plant in Baranovichi is set to manufacture components for Su-25 attack aircraft. The plant reportedly expanded by over 20,000 square meters, with some facilities likely dedicated to increasing Su-25 production. In February 2023, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko expressed willingness to localize Su-25 aircraft manufacturing for the Russian military.
Belarus continues to assist Russia in its war against Ukraine by providing territory and infrastructure for attacks on Ukraine's Rivne, Volyn, and Lviv regions.
