From Communications to Armour

As part of the ‘Unbreakable Brotherhood 2026’ command and staff exercise involving the CSTO Peacekeeping Forces — consisting of military contingents from Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan — a display of weaponry, military and specialised equipment was organised at the Losvido testing ground near Vitebsk.

The State Authority for Military Industry of Belarus (SAMI) presented its cutting-edge developments to participants and guests of the exercise. Most of these models are already in service with the Belarusian Armed Forces and are shaping the modern battlefield. The static display featured advanced communications and command-and-control systems, electronic warfare (EW) and counter-UAV systems, computing hardware, automated control systems, optoelectronic and night-vision devices, armoured vehicles and weaponry, as well as unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for various applications.

The equipment display served as a practical platform for knowledge sharing and showcased the capabilities of the Belarusian defence industry.
