I congratulate you on the Day of Fatherland Defenders and the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus – February 23!

Defence of Fatherland has been considered a sacred duty of everyone in all times of the Belarusian history. On this day we honor those who forged victory on battlefields in times of great troubles, who performed their international duty with valor and honor, who worked to strengthen the might of our army.
Scientists of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus preserve traditions and make a worthy contribution to the strengthening of our Homeland's defense capability. Creation of new equipment models, upgrade of protection means, introduction of new technologies and materials provide a high level of the Belarusian army equipment, the reliable security of the country.

Dear colleagues!
