The Belarusian army is not yet directly involved in the war against Ukraine, but the self-proclaimed dictator Alexander Lukashenko continues to help Putin with the logistics of the occupation forces of the Russian Federation. On August 5, at about 20:30, a heavy military transport aircraft Il-76 landed in the Belarusian city of Gomel, arriving from Pskov (Russian Federation). On board, probably, there could be missiles for the S-300/400 air defense system.. It is reported by "
According to the source, shortly after the landing of the Russian aircraft in Gomel, two trawls were seen near the city, which were transporting ammunition for the S-300/400 air defense system and could be sent to the place of concentration of Russian units in Belarus.
“After 1.5 hours, not far from the Gomel airport, in the area of \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bthe agricultural town of Krasnoe (Gomel region), two trawls carrying missiles for the S-300/400 air defense system were noticed.. Trawls, accompanied by traffic police and ZIL of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation with the identification mark “V”, turned from Gomelskaya Street onto the M5 highway in the direction of Minsk. But it is possible that they are not going to Minsk at all, since this road further crosses the M8 highway, along which there is a direct route to the Zyabrovka airfield, where the military contingent of the RF Armed Forces is concentrated,"
" The journalists also confirmed that the Russian Il-76 took off from Belarus in the opposite direction around 22:45.
