Lukashenko will fall for the production of the Oreshnik missileThere is no Oreshnik yet.
We are working.
But when I delved into this problem Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin ed.
immersed me it turned out that, except for the rocket, everything needs to be manufactured.
And we are doing it in Belarus.
That is why we are working on it.
Several launchers that are intended for Oreshnik we are actually finishing manufacturing today, said Lukashenko.According to him, we will need a missile before the launchers ed.
from Russia.
On December 6, 2024, after signing the agreement on security guarantees between the Union State of Belarus and Russia in Minsk, Alexander Lukashenko asked Vladimir Putin to deploy new weapons systems in Belarus, in particular the Oreshnik.
On January 26, Lukashenko said that Russian Oreshnik ballistic missiles could arrive in Belarus any day now, adding that Russia could deploy these missile systems in one of the Belarusian cities, for example, in Orsha, near Smolensk in western Russia.Lukashenko claimed that Russias deployment of Oreshnik missiles in Belarus was a direct response to the deployment of US missiles in Europe, and stated that the Oreshnik missiles would protect Belarus.According to ISW, the deployment of Oreshnik missiles on Belarusian territory does not fundamentally change Russias military capabilities towards Europe and Ukraine, as Russia has long had weapons systems with the same payload and longer range in Kaliningrad and elsewhere on the Russian mainland.
