Belarusian army to receive new air defense missile systems

Minsk- New air defense missile systems will be put into service in the Belarusian army in the near future, a spokesman for the country's Defense Ministry told Interfax.

"In 2009, the Armed Forces of Belarus plan to begin operating six new samples of weapons and military hardware, including advanced missile and air defense missile systems. Besides, troops are expected to receive five systems of simulation equipment. We also plan to produce seven new experimental samples of such commodities," he said.

Russia is Belarus' main partner in military-technological cooperation, the spokesman said, adding he does not rule out that Belarus can purchase weapons from other countries, including Ukraine and Israel (for instance, drones), if they have better tactical and technological features than Russian-made arms.
