Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Thursday that Belarus has deployed Russia’s new Oreshnik intermediate-range hypersonic missile system, describing it as part of joint strategic deterrence measures with Moscow. Speaking about military cooperation with Russia, Lukashenko said the system had gone on combat duty and was linked to broader regional defense plans, including the presence of Russian forces and tactical nuclear weapons on Belarusian territory. #Belarus #Russia #Lukashenko
