Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko announced that 10 Russian Oreshnik missile systems could be deployed on the territory of the republic. He did not rule out that this number could increase in the future.
I think that for now, 10, and then we'll see. If the Russians want to deploy more, we will deploy more.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, upon hearing the number "10", was slightly taken aback by the requests of the head of the Union State, but the President of Belarus immediately clarified that this was "with a margin."
It is worth recalling that Lukashenko had already asked Putin to deploy the Oreshnik missile system in the republic. This became known after the meeting of the Supreme State Council of Belarus on December 6 in Minsk. Putin then noted thatdeliveries of the system could take place in the second half of 2025.
Oreshnik is a medium-range ballistic missile system. According to the information on the portal "Объясняем.рф",the maximum range is 5,500 km, it can carry a warhead weighing up to 1.5 tons and reach speeds of up to 10 Mach (about 12,400 km/h). Putin emphasized that none of the existing anti-missile systemsis capable of shooting down the "Oreshnik".
