❗️Kh-35UE anti-ship missiles are launched from Su-34 fighter-bombers.
On April 7, we wrote that wreckage of a cruise missile was found near David-Haradok. This happened at around 11:30 between the villages of Tsiareblichy, Azdamichy and Alhomel (Brest region, Belarus). 1/4
A detailed analysis of the images showed that it was Kh-35UE subsonic anti-ship missile. At that time, we wrote that such missiles could be carried by Su-34 fighter-bombers. 2/4
Shortly before the explosion, at 10:57 and 11:00, two fighters took off from the military airfield in Baranavichy in the direction of Ukraine.
Today, one of the channels published photos of these missiles attached to Su-34. There are also insulting inscriptions on them. 3/4
You can notice that the airfield where the photos were taken is very similar to the airfield in Baranavichy. And just yesterday, Russian IL-76, which could have brought a new batch of these missiles, arrived there. 4/4

Recently, the EU imposed sanctions on the transportation of goods by road within the EU by Belarusian transport.
Belarusian economy is highly dependent on the export of services. Foreign trade in goods traditionally brings a negative result to Belarus. 1/7
Belarus sells less goods for export than it buys from abroad. The negative balance of foreign trade in goods usually amounts to several billion dollars a year. In 2021, Belarus traded $0,8 billion in minus – we can call it a success.
2/7
The situation with foreign trade has always been saved by the service sector, where exports exceed imports so much that it’s possible to completely cover the negative balance of trade in goods. Now new restrictions deprive the country of this advantage.
