Here's an update, it has a 200 km range and the new system is a product of a transfer of technology from China to Belarus, where the new MLRS uses the same missile as one used by the Chinese A200 MLRS:

Re: Belarus Armed Forces
Belarus Asks Russia for 'Means of Destruction' to Defend From Poland
Belarusian Defense Minister Andrei Ravkov said that the country needs weapons systems to defend itself from NATO countries rather than an air base, which was the subject of speculation earlier.
Belarus needs weapons systems to defend itself from a militarizing Poland, the country's defense minister Andrei Ravkov said on Thursday, arguing that his country does not need a Russian military base.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko was previously said to be in talks with Russia over a proposed airbase in the country, although he later denied it happening, saying that Belarus needs missiles more than airbases. Lukashenko went on to win in the country's presidential elections on October 12 with over 84 percent of the vote. Following the elections, European Union sanctions against Belarus were lifted.
"What is the point of putting an airbase on Belarusian territory? For now, there is no point. Our thoughts are these: our neighbors, especially the newly elected president of Poland, he is asking NATO and they agreed, to put four bases of various use, including aviation, in the immediate vicinity of the Belarusian border. And the answer is simple: maybe we will take some sort of means of destruction which can in good time and at the right place strike these objects? That would be much more effective than an airbase," Ravkov said.
Lukashenko previously expressed concern about NATO activities around Belarus, and criticized Russia for not providing enough defense support. He later spoke out against having a Russian air base in the country, saying that Russian aircraft can take off from Russia's Smolensk, across the border from Belarus, with the same success.
In terms of missile systems, Belarus has developed a long-distance multiple rocket launcher system called Polonez ("Polonaise") together with China, which exceeds the capabilities of known similar Russian systems.

Very suspicious...
They do not want a russian AFB, not that they consider a detterance weapon more valuable, they just do not want AFB entirely but a detterance weapon. If they are to overthrown or siding with US they could use the very same weapon as detterance against russia. That means only one thing russia is the only one that would have safe use of it in Belarus to keep detterance against US(NATO) and against coup de etats, traitors to slavic people.

Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko reaffirmed Belarus' peaceful policy and resolution to defend national interests. The head of state made the statement at a session of the Security Council while discussing the Military Doctrine of Belarus on January 22. Alexander Lukashenko stressed that there are no direct military threats to Belarus.
Alexander Lukashenko said that the analysis of the present-day situation requires adjustments to the country's national security approaches, including in the military sector.
In his words, last year the Defence Minister was tasked to explore all options of possible response with the use of force to contemporary threats taking into account the long-term forecast and reflect this in the new edition of the Military Doctrine, which was accomplished.
The military-political leadership of the country increased its activity in strengthening the combat power of the Belarusian army. The main efforts of the Ministry of Defence are focused on purchasing new weapons and military equipment, as well as on the modernization of existing ones.
And this process went far beyond the priorities outlined last year: the Air Force and Air Defense Forces, MTR and the development of UAVs. In order to increase the combat capabilities of units, the Ministry of Defence purchased new aircraft, upgraded radar systems and communications systems.
Now it is time for the tanks’ modernization. According to the plans of the military leadership of Belarus, specialists have already started to implement a phased modernization of all T-72B that are in service. T-72B – the main battle tank of the Belarusian army, numbers more than 400 tanks. Their modernization will allow bringing tank units to a new level.
Last year the 140th Repair Plant, one of the main enterprises of Belarus’ Goskomvoenprom, demonstrated its own program of deep modernization of T-72B - "Vityaz". Obviously, the modernization of the Belarusian tanks will be made in Belarus - it is much cheaper and more reliable. Moreover, it is known that the first tanks "Vityaz" left the assembly line, and were tested in the units in the course of combat training. They showed a very high efficiency.
What's new in the Belarusian version of T-72?
Belarusian defense industry has made fundamental changes in the fire control system. It is, first of all, the installation of modern fire control system with multi-channel gunner's sight "Sosna-U", automatic target tracking, PNK-4S-01 observation and sighting system. These changes allow the gunner to search and defeat the target using the cannon and coaxial machine gun in the "Double" regime at any time, in any weather.
In addition, the tank is enhanced by an anti-aircraft machine gun that allows to defeat more effectively the air and ground targets from the crew compartment of the tank at a distance of up to 1600 meters.
Combat capability and survivability of tank is significantly increased due to the use of new complex of active protection "Barrier" and dynamic protection "Knife".
"Vityaz" is also equipped with new digital radio stations R-181-50VU "Rhapsody" and navigation system (GLONASS/GPS). The ergonomic characteristics are also improved.
At the same time the modernization of the tanks is only partial, primarily due to the fact, that changes have not touched the engine, automatic loader and gun.
A somewhat different story is in using dynamic protection system "Knife" and active protection system "Barrier" of the Ukrainian production for "Vityaz". It may seem illogical, that Minsk, the closest ally of Moscow, uses the Ukrainian military technology against the background of extremely tense relations between Russia and Ukraine.
Probably, this approach was due to the overpriced Russian dynamic protection "Relic". At the same time, according to Ukrainian experts, Belarus-Ukrainian contract for the supply of dynamic protection involves subsequent transferring of production technology, which will significantly improve the capacity of the domestic defense industry and enhance its export potential.
As for the "Barrier", that was criticized by Russian experts, it should be said that the American experts who conducted their own study of the system, refuted their point of view. Moreover, Russia itself is developing a system of active protection "Afghanit", which is based on the same principles as the "Barrier".
It becomes clear that the military leadership of Belarus, taking the decision to modernize tanks T-72B, came primarily from the economic opportunities of the country, leaving aside political ambitions.

"Now take the third division in Borisov", - O. Dvigalev said. According to him, earlier in Khabarovsk we received two divisions of S-300 PS, who intercede on combat duty in the 377th anti-aircraft missile regiment in Polotsk (Vitebsk region).
The commander said that the fourth division will be supplied to Belarus in March this year

does anyone have a list of small arms in use by Belarus? including anti tank weapons, mortars, manpads, ZSU-23-2 etc? can only find vehicles and aircraft etc. I know most will be Soviet and Russian just wanted to know what. I know they have shershan ATGW.
Its a shame the 2T stalker didnt come into service pretty cool combat recce vehicle, problem with Belarus is funds, they just dont spend much on their armed forces.

Very similar to what Russians use.
Makarov is standard service issued pistol
Standard assault rifles are mix of AK74, AK74M, AKS-74M and AK-74U, occasionally older models like AKM, AKMS can be spotted
Machine gun RPK-74/RPK-74M/RPKS in reserve mostly RPD and RPK
Then standard mix of specialised firearms like PKM, NSV, DShK, Dragunov SVD
Special units same as in Russia use often VSS Vintorez, VSK-94, 9A-91
Main AT weapon of Belarus are still RPG7 and SPG-9M, however they do operate ATGMs too Metis, Konkurs and Fagot which are to be gradually replaced with their domestic Shershen
AGS-17 automatic grenade launcher is also in service
When its about AA guns i know they for sure operate ZSU-23-2, Tunguska and Shilka
Igla MANPADs from what i am aware last Strela M2s were destroyed some years ago
Mortars i for sure know about 2S12 Sani and most likely 2B14 Podnos too
They also use RPO-A Shmel, RPG29, RPG26 and similar AT weapons as they were inherited from USSR

It's not funds, it's they're the Belarus. Minotor Service knew the 2T was never going to sell well, since they proposed it to the damn Russian armed forces. The good point was the frontal arc. Russians should have tried to cut a deal, but otherwise the platform for the 2T was already an antiquity.
