During a meeting on the creation of the Academy of Intelligent Technologies, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko announced that he is considering developing a powerful universal counter-drone weapon. Lukashenko believes that the academy will come out with a fundamentally new, powerful anti-drone weapon, an innovation that would "cancel out" the battlefield value of drones. We’re all worried about drones. But what if someone smart, in a small country – Israel or Belarus – creates a system to combat these drones? They crash, explode, and so on," the president said.
