Belarus to Deploy Four Batteries of S-300PS Defenses in March

February 9, 2006 :: News

Russia will deploy four S-300PS surface-to-air missile batteries in Belarus this March, according to Aytech Bizhev, deputy commander of the Russian Air Force. The deployment will extend the effective range of Russia’s western air-defense by 150 km (90 miles) and the detection of air targets by 400 km (250 miles). On Friday, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov referred to the S-300PS missile units as “purely defensive” in an attempt to reassure NATO that the deployment was not directed against the western alliance. Belarus shares borders with NATO members Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia.
