In 2025, counter-battery warfare drills are planned at a Russian training field with Belarusian troops taking part, as described in official channels and reflected by Belarusian military leadership.
The plan for the upcoming training year includes practicing counter-battery operations at long ranges on a Russian range, with Belarusian forces ready to exercise extended-fire capabilities during the drills.
Officials noted that missiles took part in Russia-based exercises this year, carrying out maximum-range launches, including the Polonez-M system.
In October, reports indicated that the Belarusian and Russian general staffs began preparations for Zapad-2025. Minsk and Moscow have been strengthening defense cooperation to safeguard sovereignty and share assessments of challenges and threats.
Belarus has previously sent units to Russia for joint training, illustrating a pattern of bilateral military cooperation and coordinated readiness for large-scale exercises.
