Colonel Alexander Vorobyov, who leads the radio technical corps within Belarus’s defense structure, indicated that three to four kinds of foreign reconnaissance aircraft are detected daily along Belarus’s western frontier. He shared these observations in a televised interview on the Belarusian channel SB TV.
Vorobyov stressed that the level of air threat from NATO states is on a steady rise. Belarusian radar networks routinely pick up reconnaissance activity in the adjacent airspace, with operations carried out across multiple platforms. Reconnaissance sorties occur through all available means, including both strategic drones and traditional aircraft, with three or four separate flights recorded each day to monitor Belarusian territory.
The commander noted that a broad array of radar stations is deployed across the Belarusian air defense system, with each site tailored to detect specific classes of aerial targets. This layered radar framework enables the detection of NATO aircraft across a wide altitude spectrum, from very low levels to high-altitude passages extending into hundreds of kilometers.
In related developments, Belarusian leadership has signaled ongoing concerns about strategic military assets and readiness. The President of Belarus has publicly indicated that Russian tactical nuclear weapons remain in place and are maintained in good condition as part of the broader security posture in the region.
Observers note ongoing discussions about the deployment and readiness of combat-trained personnel at the Belarusian border, amid tensions and a shifting security dynamic in the wider European theater. These developments reflect Belarus’s emphasis on robust border monitoring, integrated air defense, and the careful calibration of allied forces in neighboring states.
