Belarus destroys defense system

MINSK, Belarus, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- Belarus has destroyed its remaining 15 Strela-2M portable air defense systems as promised, the defense ministry said in Minsk Monday.

The procedure was carried out in agreement with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, RIA Novosti said.

Belarus had 29 Strela-2M air defense systems in service with the army. They were removed from operation in 2002.

Fourteen systems were scrapped in 2005, Novosti said.
