They weren't able to shoot it down.

During a recent strike on Ukraine, a Russian “Banderol” drone-missile flew approximately 120 km into Belarusian territory. This was reported on August 22 by the Ukrainian project Monitor. According to their data, the missile’s total flight distance was about 306 km.

To intercept the target, the Belarusian military scrambled Su-30 fighter jets, but they were unable to destroy it.

Ultimately, the drone-missile—presumably due to running out of fuel—crashed into a field. No reports of casualties or damage in Belarus have been received. Belarusian officials have not yet publicly commented on this incident. Ukrainian OSINT analysts indicate that the crash site is located near the village of Luchitsy in the Petrikov District.

Earlier, the website Charter97.org reported that 12 Russian “Banderol” missile drones had flown into Belarus.
