Russia has transferred a batch of "Tor-M2K" anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM) to Belarus, which will be deployed along the country's western borders. This was reported by Bulgarian Military, citing a statement from the Belarusian Ministry of Defense.
Assistant Minister of Defense for Ideological Work in the Armed Forces of Belarus, Leonid Kasinsky, previously stated that the supply of "Tor-M2K" systems is part of an intergovernmental agreement between Russia and Belarus. According to him, "Tor-M2K" is effective for engaging aerial targets at various altitudes.
