Belarus’s KGB special unit “Alpha” has somehow obtained Ukrainian RK-3 “Korsar” anti-tank missiles, according to an investigation by the independent group BELPOL. Ukraine has never exported these systems, raising serious questions about the involvement of Belarusian security services in Russia's war.
How Ukrainian “Korsars” may have ended up with Belarus’s KGB
According to BELPOL, the missile could have reached Belarus together with Russian troops retreating from Kyiv Oblast in 2022. Another version suggests the direct participation of the KGB’s “Alpha” unit in Russia’s war against Ukraine at the start of the combat actions.
The journalists have published photographs taken at the “Alpha” base in November 2022. The images clearly show an RK-3OF transport-launch container of 107 mm caliber with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead and a formed penetrator.
Not the first case: the “Kozak-5” armored vehicle in Belarus
The investigation also recalls that in July 2024, the Belarusian special unit “Vityaz” showcased a captured Ukrainian “Kozak-5” armored vehicle. This equipment was never supplied to Belarus and could have arrived there together with Russian troops or Wagner PMC units after their redeployment, UNIAN reports.
However, according to Ukraine’s State Border Guard Service, in the first months of the full-scale war, no losses or destruction of “Kozak-5” vehicles in the Kyiv Oblast were recorded among border guard units.
Belarus and the war against Ukraine: unanswered questions
The presence of Ukrainian anti-tank missiles in the possession of Belarus's KGB strengthens suspicions of deeper involvement by the regime of Aleksandr Lukashenka in the war against Ukraine. The official route by which the RK-3 “Korsar” reached Belarusian security services remains unknown.
