By the end of 2025, Belarus is ready to put into service two launchers of the latest Russian Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile system, for which launchers are produced in the republic. This was stated by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
I am now monitoring the production of these launchers. I think we are ready to put two launchers into service by the end of the year.
According to him, the issue of where exactly to deploy the missile system on Belarusian territory has not yet been resolved.
There is no need to rush here, we don't need to hurry now. There is no need to put Oreshnik somewhere near Orsha faster, tomorrow. If necessary, we will put it. If it is necessary. This is a serious weapon. You can't make it on your knee in six months or in one month.
The Belarusian leader noted that Oreshnik will soon enter service with the Belarusian army. He noted that the launching part for this missile is already being produced in Belarus.
Military expert Vladimir Gundarov noted that by the time it reaches its orbital altitude, the Oreshnik missile accelerates to Mach 11 and from there heads to its target in a cocoon of hot plasma — this is an additional natural protection for such warheads.
