flag Belarus deploys up to 10 Russian Oreshnik missiles, capable of reaching NATO capitals in minutes.

flag Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko confirmed that up to ten Russian-made Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile systems have been deployed in Belarus, with one already in combat service. flag The missile, capable of Mach-10 speeds and carrying conventional or nuclear warheads, can strike targets across Europe, including NATO capitals, in as little as eight minutes. flag Though earlier reports suggested a dozen systems, Lukashenko clarified the number was no more than ten, calling a prior mention of ten a joke due to cost, and said one system is sufficient for Belarus’s defense. flag The deployment, part of deepening Russia-Belarus military ties, has raised concerns over regional stability and escalation risks, particularly given the missile’s range and speed, though exact locations remain undisclosed.
