On the territory of the military town in Osipovichi, Belarus, construction work has begun on new hangars for military equipment. This may indicate that Russia is preparing to transfer a brigade set of "Iskander" missile systems to Belarus. Satellite images confirming the construction of closed structures were published by the Belarusian service of Radio Liberty.

The construction of two storage facilities is taking place in military town No. 2 Yuzhny. One such hangar was already built there in 2022-23. According to information from the OSINT project Belarusian Gajun, it can accommodate 13 units of equipment. It includes up to 6 different types of equipment:

  1. Command and staff vehicle;
  2. Life support vehicle;
  3. Self-propelled missile launcher;
  4. Transport and loading vehicle;
  5. Mobile information preparation point;
  6. Regulation and service vehicle.

Earlier, the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus received at least 18 units of equipment from the Iskander-M operational-tactical missile system. One storage facility, which had already been built, is insufficient for their storage.
