Belarus has received from Russia Iskander-M tactical missile systems capable of using a nuclear charge
This was announced by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
"Some Belarusian attack aircraft have gained the ability to strike enemy targets with nuclear weapons. In addition, the Iskander-M operational and tactical missile system was handed over to the Belarusian armed forces. It can use missiles in both conventional and nuclear versions," the head of the Russian defense ministry said.
He also said that since April 3, training of Belarusian forces on how to use the system has begun at one of the Russian training grounds.
Shoigu emphasized that the Russian army will continue its armed aggression against Ukraine.
- Earlier it became known that Russians are building a storage facility for tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus.
- NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that Russia's intention to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus is an attempt to intimidate the West, but the Alliance will not succumb to nuclear blackmail.
