Wiki article (in the OP) has the ORBAT. All those tanks, IFVs, and APCs would definitely push the Central Powers back. in 1914 i doubt Belarus has to worry about any air attack. Definitely. The MiGs and Sukhois would swat anything primitive. If not them, then maybe the Buk, Tor, S-75s, S-300s, and S-400s that Belarus operates.
Given the sort of a/c operating in 1918, let alone 1914 radar aimed stuff might not be too effective as they might not pick them up. Other than the engine not a lot to register on a radar. However the mark 1 eyeball and a lot of simple aimed weapons would be very lethal.
However I think the only real way of opposing the Belarus forces, at least until they start running out of spares/munitions, is indirectly, with small raids and guerilla operations. Which are still going to be very deadly with the weapons and technology that the up-timers have.

The US quickly stops its isolationist stance for multiple reasons. Wilson creates both the US Airforce and NASA.
With WW1 basically over the Russians take a few years studying Belarus' technology and history. The Russians then launch a surprise attack which
Many nations don't enter WW1 including the Ottomans. They do not commit the Armenian Genocide but instead spend their time using diplomacy until they have sufficient upgrade their technology for war
CoVid is a saint compared to the Spanish Flu which Belarus can vaccinate for. No war means it transmit much slower than OTL.
Franco, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao and Hitler are all killed. European Jews are much more eager to have a homeland of their own so they decide to emigrate to America by the millions.
The Irish War of Independence is much bloodier thanks to the introduction of 1930s guns, tanks and airplanes
Belarus dominates the criminal underworld especially in Eastern Europe. Imagine Al Capone using an AK or RPG
