Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said that 10 Russian Oreshnik missile systems could be deployed on the territory of the republic. He did not rule out that this number may 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, hearing the number "10", was slightly taken aback by the requests of the head of the Union State, but the President of Belarus immediately explained that this was "with a margin."
It should be recalled that Lukashenko had already asked Putin to deploy the Oreshnik missile system in the republic. This became known after a meeting of the Supreme State Council of Belarus on December 6 in Minsk. Putin then noted that deliveries of the system could occur in the second half of 2025.
"Oreshnik" is a medium-range ballistic missile system. According to the information portal "Объясняем.рф", the maximum range is 5,500 km, it can carry a warhead weighing up to 1.5 tons and develop a speed of up to 10 Mach (about 12.4 thousand km/h). Putin emphasized that none of the existing anti-missile systems is capable of shooting down the "Oreshnik".
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Ai Telly graphic design studio published a detailed visualization of the flight of the "Oreshnik" on its official YouTube channel.
