They are particularly concerned about the presence of the new tactical marking on the equipment. The massive application of such markings on the equipment was carried out by Russian forces before the invasion of Ukraine, the report says.
The Belarusian opposition channel on the Telegram app shared some showing Russian military equipment in Grodno, in the western part of the country.
"In the center of Grodno, a modern Russian Boomerang armored personnel carrier with a tactical marking (three vertical white stripes) was spotted.
"Previously, such equipment had not been seen in Grodno or near the Hozhsky training ground," the Belarusian opposition noted.
They are particularly concerned about the presence of the new tactical insignia on the equipment.
"The mass application of such markings on equipment was carried out by Russian forces before the invasion of Ukraine," the report says.
From September 12 to 16, the Russian-Belarusian military exercise Zapad-2025 is taking place there, practicing the penetration of the so-called Suwa?ki Trench from Belarus to the Kaliningrad region of Russia through the sovereign territory of Poland and Lithuania.
Before the exercise began, Russian military drones flew over Poland for the first time. Earlier, it was reported that Russia had deployed several Iskander missile systems in the same area.
NATO went on its highest alert last Tuesday at around 9:30 p.m. local time after Russian drones entered alliance territory, in the bloc's most serious security incident in decades, according to a reconstruction of that night's events by the German newspaper WELT.
By the end of that night, more than two dozen drones penetrated 250 kilometers into NATO airspace over Poland, some of them heading towards a key NATO logistics hub for Ukraine, according to WELT.
At 8:17 p.m., an alert went off at a NATO air surveillance station in Uedem, a small German town near the Dutch border. Soldiers detected a swarm of attack drones flying over Ukraine.
Some of these drones are long-range combat models manufactured in Russia with a wingspan of 2.5 meters, traveling at about 160 km/h and a range of 600 kilometers, as Polish investigators later discovered.
Fifty minutes later, at 21:06, concerns grew as drones continued to fly towards Poland, five of them heading towards a NATO logistics center in Rzeszów. NATO forces issued a yellow alert. At 9:26 p.m., the first drones entered NATO territory. NATO combat units were on alert. Four minutes later, the alert level for a possible air strike was raised to red alert.
Poland has meanwhile rejected Donald Trump's claim that the incident may have been the result of a mistake, in a rare statement of disagreement from one of the US's closest European allies with the American president.
Poland's Foreign Minister told Reuters that Warsaw hopes Washington will take action to show solidarity with Poland.
At the United Nations on Friday, the US called the violation of airspace worrying and pledged to defend "every inch of NATO territory."
On the other hand, Moscow said its forces were carrying out attacks on Ukraine at the time of the drone incursion and that they were not aiming to hit targets in Poland.
