Since July 2024, over 700 Russian drones have strayed into Belarusian airspace — some even crashing on Belarusian soil.

Minsk is stuck in the middle:
- Shoot them down and risk angering Russia,
- Ignore them and risk drones falling on homes
- Or warn NATO neighbors like Poland and Lithuania

On September 10, Belarus even tipped off Warsaw and Vilnius as swarms of drones crossed into their airspace.

Well by all means don't anger Russia, who is so powerful they have crashed their economy, destroyed much of their military by trying to take over a small country that keeps defeating them for over 3 yrs!! How scary!!!??? Must tiptoe around Putin, wouldn't want to anger the paper tiger!

As I see it, if there are flying unindentified drones in your airspace you can bring them down. Nobody has a reason to be angered by it, otherwise they should’ve asked permission🤷

Lukashenko is just a pawn of Putin. Personally I feel lukashenko cares more about his country than Pootin cares about Russia

Belarus won’t dissent against Russia when missiles or drones stray off target and kill civilians… will the tens of thousands of Russian orcs in the country they simply comply to Putin.

Belarus is basically a russian vassal state. Can't really feel sympathy for them.

The reality is when drone jamming happens on both sides, some of the drones fly in wrong directions.
