The Belarusian military can hardly be called professionals.

Military analyst Oleksandr Kovalenko explained that the main function of Belarus in the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine is to be a platform for launching missiles: "Their maximum is provocations or local sabotage activities of sabotage groups." He shared his opinion in an interview with the Apostroph news publisher.

“We can look at the figures. The total number of combat-ready resources of the Belarusian army is twenty battalion-tactical groups.

This is a combat-ready number, but still, when we talk about the combat capability of the Belarusian army, we must understand that this is not a professional army. There, they generally call it the “paper army”, very funny, because everything is only in writing,” Oleksandr Kovalenko explained the situation.
