A Justice For Myanmar investigation has uncovered new evidence of significant and ongoing military collaboration between the Belarus regime and the Myanmar military junta, including the supply of a custom-designed air defence command system and the training of military personnel connected to the arms industry at Belarusian universities.
Leaked correspondence between Myanmar's air defence command and Belarusian authorities confirms the transfer of advanced military systems, including a Myanmar Air Defence Operational Command (MADOC) system, V3D radar technology, and ground-based missile systems.
The custom-designed air defence command system is supplied through the state-owned company Belspetsvneshtechnika (BSVT). The system includes the "Panorama" automation control system and Vostok 3D radar technology designed to detect aerial objects and track targets automatically, including drones, which are used by resistance forces.
Myanmar military personnel are also currently enrolled at the Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics (BSUIR), conducting research in radio-electronic engineering for air defence systems.
Students are linked to key weapons production facilities including Defence Industry 4 in Naypyidaw and Myanmar Heavy Industry 10 in Mandalay.
The findings come as Myanmar's military increasingly relies on aerial attacks as resistance forces expand effective control. The junta's air force indiscriminately targets civilians, schools, and hospitals, causing displacement and civilian casualties, committing war crimes with total impunity.
Belarus is a long-standing partner of the Myanmar military junta, and official visits between senior representatives to Belarus and Myanmar are increasingly frequent.
In 2025 alone, war criminal Min Aung Hlaing travelled to Minsk on two separate occasions to meet with senior leadership, including dictator Alexander Lukashenko, in Minsk. The visits have furthered military cooperation and Belarusian complicity in the Myanmar military’s international crimes.
Representatives from the Belarusian arms industry and universities with military engineering and training programmes have also travelled to Myanmar on repeated occasions in 2025, resulting in formalised agreements with Myanmar universities in domains with direct military applicability.
Justice For Myanmar calls for targeted sanctions against Myanmar arms brokers involved in the arms trade with Belarus, including Dynasty Group, and against Belarusian universities training Myanmar military personnel.
Justice For Myanmar spokesperson Yadanar Maung says: "The partnership between the Belarusian regime and Myanmar military has been many years in the making. Belarus was the only country to vote against a 2021 UN General Assembly resolution calling on UN members to prevent the flow of arms into Myanmar and this support between criminals has only deepened since then.
"New evidence demonstrates the continued Belarusian support to the junta as it wages a campaign of terror against the people of Myanmar, committing war crimes and crimes against humanity with total impunity.
"Collaboration between the Myanmar junta and the Belarusian regime should be of immediate and wider concern in light of Belarus’ tacit support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
"Sanctions on Belarus – including on State universities hosting Myanmar military personnel – are crucial, and efforts should be taken to ensure that any shipments of arms from Belarus to Myanmar are disrupted.
"Arms brokers, including Dynasty Group that are facilitating the dirty deals between Belarus and Myanmar should also be more widely sanctioned."
