The President is on a working trip to Vitebsk Region today. Alexander Lukashenko visited Orsha District. The first stop is Ustye production and technical cluster. This is one of the most closed facilities of the State Military-Industrial Committee. The Head of State got acquainted with Belarusian pistols and machine guns. They were tested in our army and received positive feedback. Foreign customers were also satisfied with the weapon. Alexander Lukashenko visited the workshop for the regulation and repair of aircraft guided missiles.
The Head of State drew special attention to the need to localize production so that the enterprise would manufacture both the outer shell of the rocket and the components of the control and guidance system.
According to the President, we need such a production because of the instability of the situation in the world, constantly emerging challenges and threats from external forces.
"Who guarantees that we will not fight? The world has gone crazy in general. War can break out at any moment at any point," the Belarusian leader warned.
The next stop on the presidential route was Orsha Aircraft Repair Plant in Bolbasov. This is the leading enterprise in Belarus for the overhaul and modernization of MI helicopters. Alexander Lukashenko got acquainted with its work, as well as with samples of aircraft on repair. They also discussed the further development of Orsha airfield.
