During the upcoming meeting in Moscow, the presidents of the Russian Federation and Belarus, Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko, may make specific decisions regarding the timing of the delivery of the Russian medium-range missile system "Oreshnik" to the Armed Forces of the republic. This was stated by military analyst, editor-in-chief of the magazine "National Defense" Igor Korotchenko.
Specific decisions regarding the time of delivery of the "Oreshnik" missile system and the preparation of the necessary basing infrastructure may be made as early as today, March 13.
The analyst added that from a practical military-political point of view, now is a very good time to supply "Oreshnik" to a neighboring country.
On Thursday, Lukashenko arrived on an official visit to Moscow. The trip program includes negotiations with his Russian counterpart. The head of the second CIS countries department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Alexei Polishchuk, noted that the deployment of "Oreshnik" in the neighboring republic will be organized according to the agreement of the heads of both states.
According to the data of the portal «Объясняем.рф», the maximum range of "Oreshnik" is 5,500 km.

Putin stated that none of the anti-missile systems is capable of shooting down "Oreshnik".
