Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has said that his country will soon receive a large consignment of weapons from Russia.
Belarus will acquire dozens of combat jets, helicopters and air defence missile systems, Lukashenko announced on Wednesday.
The news comes as Russia and Belarus prepare to conduct joint war games involving an estimated 200,000 troops.
Lukashenko also hinted that his country could receive S-400 anti-aircraft systems, which are capable of shooting down air targets at a distance of 250 kilometres.
