Belarusian President demands concrete defence results from scientists

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko visited the test site of the A.V. Lykachev Institute of Powder Metallurgy in the Minsk region. Scientists reported on advanced developments by the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus aimed at strengthening technological sovereignty: UAVs, high-energy explosives, protected vehicles, armor protection, special equipment, and means for detecting, tracking, and destroying drones. In the civilian sector, industrial explosives are being produced for geological exploration and quarry development. The president demanded tangible results from scientists, not 'fairy tales' or promises of future achievements. The key military task is to 'neutralize drones' by creating reliable and effective countermeasures.
