It seems that a new military brigade armed with Iskander missile systems is being formed in Belarus, satellite images show.
Two new hangars are being built on the territory of the military unit in Asipovichy, which look like shelters for the Iskander systems built a year ago. An abandoned barracks and administrative building are also being reconstructed there. The Belarusian service of Radio Liberty received satellite images of these hangars.
Artillery unit № 12147 is home to the 465th Missile Brigade, one of whose divisions has an Iskander-M missile system capable of carrying nuclear weapons. There may be two such units in Belarus.
A satellite image from May 19, 2024, shows construction on a large part of the military base where the Iskanders are located. Two abandoned buildings, probably a barracks and a canteen or headquarters, are being reconstructed.
Two new hangars, similar to the one built a year ago for the Iskanders, are also under construction. The outlines of two more large foundations can be seen next to them.
