October 6, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> One of the priorities in the military sphere is to \u201cnullify\u201d the role of unmanned aerial vehicles by developing reliable and effective anti-drone weapons, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka said on October 6 while visiting the Powder Metal Industry Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need results. While preparing for this trip, I thought that [the chairman of the National Academy of Sciences] U\u0142adzimir Sciapanavi\u010d [Karanik] would, for the first time, report not only to me but also to the people on his achievements in ensuring the security of the state. This should not be yet another fairy tale about how we will do something tomorrow,\u201d \u0141uka\u0161enka said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On August 4, the Belarusian ruler said that Belarus\u2019 future \u201cAcademy of Intellectual Technology\u201d could invent a new anti-drone weapon that would render unmanned aerial vehicles obsolete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Academy could develop a \u201cfundamentally new, powerful means of fighting drones\u201d that will \u201cnullify the significance and role of UAVs,\u201d \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s press office quoted him as saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0141uka\u0161enka warned that the Academy should be a key research and development hub and not a \u201cdiploma mill.\u201d He played up its prospects for developing artificial intelligence technologies, new materials, digital industry and quantum technologies and upholding Belarus\u2019 \u201ctechnological sovereignty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian ruler expressed dissatisfaction with the performance of the National Academy of Sciences, saying that its researchers \u201cpromise a lot\u201d but \u201cdo not generate breakthrough ideas.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0141uka\u0161enka directed that final decisions on the establishment of the new Academy should be made as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On September 10, he signed an edict that provides for the Academy to be established and to launch its training programs in September 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
