Six enterprises in Belarus are producing “dragon teeth” for the Russian Federation – investigation

At least six Belarusian enterprises are producing reinforced concrete fortifications for the Russian Federation.

Journalists from Motolko Help collected data on where and how many “dragon teeth” were produced. It is noted that the active production of engineering constructions started in November 2022.

Currently, six enterprises in Belarus are involved in manufacturing them:

• Gomelzhelezobeton OJSC;
• GomelGraal LLC;
• “Chaussky ZhBI Plant” JSC;
• Krychevtsementnoshifer OJSC;
• Lotus LLC;
• “Mozyr Building Combine” OJSC.

At the same time, no information on the manufacture of these engineering structures is available in the open sources.

Journalists of the Flagstock media managed to locate an anonymous seller of “dragon teeth” on the Russian website Avito.

He shared that the enterprise in Gomel manufactures up to 100 units of such pyramid-shaped structures daily. The sales listing was published in December 2022.

The published photos allowed the investigators to find out that these fortifications are produced at the Gomel factory of trading equipment.

Additionally, the “Reinforced concrete products” section of the website of the GomelGraal enterprise has a position “Anti-tank cone.” Its description contains parameters and drawings.

Journalists took a screenshot of the advertisement, however, at the moment, no information about these products is listed on the enterprise’s website. It was likely removed after the publication of the material.

The price of such products is not indicated. According to journalists’ sources, one cone would cost approximately 200 Belarusian rubles (2900 hryvnia).

Additionally, the media sources reported that a few months ago, Belarusian enterprises in the Gomel region of Belarus received a production order for up to 30,000 units of “dragon teeth”.

According to the media, the structures are transported on trucks with Belarusian and Russian license plates. One truck contains at least 15 to 20 pyramids.

They enter the territory of the Russian Federation through two border crossings – Smolki-Belyany and Selysk-Kamen.

According to preliminary information, one of the locations to which concrete products are supplied is the village of Voronok, Bryansk region of the Russian Federation.

It is noted that the Russian media had reported on the construction of barriers in the Bryansk and Kursk regions of the Russian Federation.

At the same time, it is reported that this is probably not the only destination in the Russian Federation to which these “dragon teeth” are taken. Thus, information on the manufacture and transportation of reinforced concrete pyramids keeps being collected.

Previously, the invaders were using such structures to construct a “defense line” in the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation, which should have been a continuation of the “Wagner line” in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. The “dragon teeth” were also spotted in Melitopol and Crimea.
