Russia will ship "dozens" of planes, helicopters and air defense systems - possibly, including the S-400 ones - to Belarus shortly, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko told journalists Wednesday, TASS reports. 

"In the nearest future - I signed the order two days ago - the Russian Federation will ship us - I won’t tell what exactly and the exact amount of money - dozens of planes, dozens of helicopters, and essential air defense weapons, maybe even S-400. We need them very much, I said that already," Lukashenko said, according to BelTA.

"In a word, the most modern equipment. We will equip ourselves. If we see during the exercise [Zapad-2021] that we need something else, then we will buy it from the Russian Federation and commission it," the Belarusian leader said.
