Lukashenko: Belarusian small arms adopted, self-production achieved

The President drew journalists' attention to the importance of small arms: "On the battlefield, people decide the outcome. And a soldier needs small arms. Without it, we can't do anything. This is very important — it's the foundation of any army." Lukashenko emphasized that Belarus has everything necessary to arm every soldier. Therefore, a clear task was set — to produce domestic weapons. "We have completed this task independently. Moreover, Belarusian small arms have already been adopted for service." The President also noted that feedback on the products is important, especially critical opinions. Criticism, he said, helps manufacturers continuously improve the weapons.
