Belarus, a close ally of Russia, is now confirmed to be deeply involved in the production of Russian missile systems. Recent reports from Channel 24, citing leaked documents from the private intelligence firm Dallas, have exposed the direct role of Belarusian defense factories in supplying crucial electronic components used in precision-guided Russian weapons.
Belarusian Factories Power Russia’s Deadly Missile Arsenal
Two major Belarusian companies—Integral and Peleng—are at the center of this operation. These state-owned firms, based in the capital city Minsk, manufacture electronic chips, targeting modules, optical systems, stabilizers, and other high-tech parts that are then fitted into advanced Russian missiles.
These components have been found inside several types of Russian weaponry, including:
- Kh-101 long-range cruise missiles
- Kh-47M2 “Kinzhal” hypersonic missiles
- Kh-69 and Kh-38 air-to-surface missiles
- S-300 and S-400 air defense systems
These missiles have been used repeatedly by Russia in its attacks on Ukrainian cities, causing significant damage to civilian infrastructure, including homes, hospitals, and power stations.

This cooperation continues even though both Russia and Belarus are facing international sanctions. Evidence shows that Belarus has not reduced its defense production for Russia. Instead, official shipments are still being made to major Russian defense corporations like Rostec and Almaz-Antey, which produce weapons systems and military equipment.
Belarus Becomes a Military Hub for Russia
Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Belarus has served as a rear base for the Russian military. It not only shares its land and facilities but also helps in maintaining and repairing Russian equipment.
In October 2024, reports surfaced that the Belarusian state-run 140th Repair Plant is involved in the repair and modernization of Russian armored vehicles damaged in Ukraine. These vehicles are restored in Belarus and then sent back to the battlefield.
Just a few months earlier, in May 2024, it was revealed that Belarus had been producing targeting systems for Russian armored vehicles, making them more accurate during combat operations.
Parts made in Belarus are not limited to missiles alone. They are also found in:
- Russian tanks
- Drones
- Military aircraft
Belarus’s military factories are, therefore, a key part of Russia’s supply chain. This partnership helps Russia keep its military strong even while facing Western sanctions and trade restrictions.
Russia uses intermediary companies and shady routes to smuggle sensitive technology through Belarus. In return, Belarus receives economic support from Russia, which is vital for its struggling economy.
Official communications between Belarusian companies and Russian defense firms confirm that this cooperation is open and organized, not accidental. Despite the global community trying to cut off Russia’s military from foreign aid, Belarus acts as a loophole.
Hybrid Warfare and Dangerous Escalation from Belarusian Soil
Belarus is not just helping Russia with weapons. It is also involved in hybrid warfare tactics that aim to destabilize Europe.
In 2021, Belarus was widely blamed for creating a migration crisis at the borders of Poland and Lithuania. Thousands of people from the Middle East were directed toward these borders. Western officials accused Belarus of using these people as tools to put political pressure on the European Union (EU).
More recently, Belarus has also become a military training ground. Russian mercenaries, some of whom are fighting in Ukraine, are undergoing combat training in Belarus.

Even more concerning is the fact that Russian nuclear weapons are now being deployed on Belarusian territory. This is the first time since the Cold War that such weapons are stationed outside of Russia in a foreign country. This move marks a significant escalation and brings Belarus into the center of global military tensions.
These facts point to a clear pattern: Belarus is no longer just a neighbor of Russia—it is now an active enabler of Russia’s war in Ukraine. From missile parts to hybrid warfare, Belarus is playing a silent yet powerful role in one of the world’s most dangerous conflicts.
