During August 2024, Belarus increased its military presence near the border with Ukraine, redeploying over 1,400 troops and substantial equipment including armored personnel carriers (BTR-82A, BTR-70MB1), tanks (T-72B), air defense systems (16 Tunguska SAM, 5 S-300PS SAM), and aircraft (4 Su-25, 2 Mi-8 helicopters). The redeployment was prompted by Belarusian President Lukashenka's claim on August 10 regarding Ukrainian UAV flights into Belarusian territory, though some claims of UAV shootings were later refuted. Despite the buildup, Belarusian Hajun analysts assessed the force size as not posing a direct military threat to Ukraine. The troop movements reflect heightened military tension in the region amid ongoing conflict.
