Russian Armed Forces personnel delivered munitions to field storage sites of a missile brigade in Belarus during nuclear exercises. This was reported by the Russian Ministry of Defence press service.
The personnel of the missile unit of the Republic of Belarus are performing combat training tasks to receive special munitions for the Iskander-M operational-tactical missile system (OTRK).
The missiles were loaded onto launchers, then transporter-erector-launchers (TELs) from the Iskander-M complex covertly moved to a new area. Upon reaching the designated point, the missile crews simulated launches.
On May 18, Russian-Belarusian nuclear exercises began. Nearly 65,000 personnel, over 200 missile launchers, more than 70 ships, and 13 submarines, including 8 strategic ones (forming the basis of the naval component of Russia's "nuclear triad"), were involved in the maneuvers.
The Iskander-M OTRK was developed by specialists from the KBM (Kolomna) Design Bureau. The complex is designed to destroy ground targets, including enemy air defense systems, command posts, and airfields with equipment. It is equipped with a high-precision quasi-ballistic solid-propellant missile 9M723.
