China secretly delivers weapons to Belarus

It is about four flights of the Chinese airline’s transport aircraft at once

The Belaruski Gaiyun monitoring group reports on the atypical activity of a Boeing 747-4FTF transport aircraft of the Chinese cargo airline Air China Cargo at Minsk Airport in Belarus – earlier this month, the aircraft made four flights from China to Belarus in four days, from January 8 to 11. It is reported that the planes arrived in the Belarusian capital at about the same time in the morning and spent about three hours there, which is enough time to unload.

It is emphasized that the planes from China occupied an atypical parking lot, which is intended for servicing government aircraft, including the cars used by the self-proclaimed president of the country, Alexander Lukashenko. This parking lot is located at a remote distance from the others and is close to the airport exit via the shortest route and without inspection.

According to researchers from Belaruski Gajun, the Chinese airline’s plane was delivering military equipment to Belarus, which was taken out of the airport as quickly and secretly as possible to avoid attracting unnecessary attention. “It is not yet known what exactly was brought by the four planes this time. But everything indicates that it is a military cargo,” the source said.

Of course, one possibility is that China is “secretly” supplying weapons through Belarus that will eventually end up in the Russian army. But it is more likely that the Chinese airline’s plane brought weapons for the Belarusian armed forces.

Moreover, for example, in 2017, the Belarusian army adopted Chinese armored vehicles CS/VN3 Dajiang, and the following year, the delivery of these vehicles to Belarus by the same Chinese airline (Boeing 747-4FTF with registration number B-2475) was recorded. Alternatively, Belarus could receive a new batch of 16-20 vehicles this month.

The publication also recalls that the Belarusian multiple launch rocket system Polonez uses missiles with Chinese components, and this may be another option, but what was the Chinese plane carrying to Belarus for four days in a row? Earlier, we told you that China has shown another modernization of the Polonez OTRC.

As a reminder, due to the sanctions and the ban, Russia is now forced to look for alternative options for supplying components for its weapons and military equipment, as well as equipment. for example, we recently published a story about China giving Russia machines for weapons production and what it really means.

In addition, last year it became known that Chinese companies were producing attack drones to order from Russia. Also in November last year, Chinese Desertcross all-terrain vehicles were seen on the front line.
