State Authority for Military Industry of the Republic of Belarus

The State Authority for Military Industry of the Republic of Belarus is a government organization in Minsk that oversees the coordination of defense production and military technology development across the country. It manages a network of specialized manufacturing plants and research facilities engaged in producing military equipment and systems.

The authority was established by presidential decree on December 30, 2003, taking over capabilities and infrastructure from the Soviet defense industry. It consolidated existing military-industrial resources and continues to develop them further.

The organization maintains professional education programs for technical specialists, contributing to Belarus's position in military engineering and defense technology.

Visitors do not have direct access to facilities or production plants, as this is a state security organization. Information about the organization is primarily available through official publications and media releases.

Between 2004 and 2018, the organization expanded its international reach by signing military-technical cooperation agreements with countries across multiple continents. These global connections demonstrate the significance of Belarus's defense manufacturing on the world stage.
