Abstract
Belarus and Russia have been discussing and actually working on the integration of their defense structures since Former President of Russia Boris Yeltsin and President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko agreed to the formation of the greater Belarus-Russia Union State. Although development of the overall union state has been slow, some might argue stultified, the two countries have made progress in integrating their defenses. There are only a few colleagues with much interest in Belarusian defense matters, except within the context of their military relationship with Russia. What interest there is concentrates on several recurring questions. How much progress has there actually been? In what areas has the progress occurred? Does the integration present any sort of danger to the West? What sort of capabilities does this force have? This paper attempts to answer them.
