Defense Minister Viktar Khrenin has said he intends to show the Oreshnik system in Belarus. He made the statement while speaking with media representatives.
“The Oreshnik missile system has arrived and has been deployed on the territory of the Republic of Belarus. It is being prepared to go on combat duty. As soon as this happens, we will certainly invite you and show it,” TASS quoted him as saying.
The arrival of Oreshnik was announced the previous day at the All-Belarusian People’s Assembly by Alyaksandr Lukashenka.
It should be noted that, according to Khrenin, the Defense Ministry plans to demonstrate Oreshnik, while Russian nuclear weapons, which Belarusian and Russian authorities say are present in the country, have so far not been shown.
