Russia To Deploy Hypersonic Oreshnik Missiles In Belarus By End Of 2025 Amid Rising NATO Tensions Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has announced that Russia's Oreshik hypersonic missile systems will be deployed in Belarus by the end of 2025. The agreement was finalized with President Vladimir Putin in Volgograd. Lukashenko made the declaration during Belarus' independence anniversary celebrations, saying the first positions are already planned. The Oreshik missiles, praised for their high-speed performance, are expected to be mounted on Belarusian-made chassis. Earlier this year, a small batch of those vehicles was built and tested. The deployment marks a new phase in military integration between Minsk and Moscow and is likely to alarm NATO's eastern members.#russia #Belarus #HypersonicMissiles #Oreshnik #putin #Lukashenko #MissileDeployment #MilitaryAlliance #Geopolitics #StrategicWeapons #NATOBorder #RussiaBelarus #NATOWatch #UkraineWar 2.0K views | 3 hours ago

Belarus gives update on deployment of Russian Oreshnik missiles
Russia's Oreshik hypersonic missile systems are set to arrive in Belarus by the end of 2025, as agreed with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko has said. The president made the remarks on Tuesday during an event marking the anniversary of Belarus independence. 'We agreed with Putin in Volgograd. The first positions of Oreshnik will be in Belarus. You have seen the performance of Oreshnik. By the end of the year, these weapons will be deployed in Belarus,' Lukashenko stated. The Russian missiles are expected to be mounted on locally produced chassis. Earlier this year, Lukashenko revealed a handful of such vehicles had already been manufactured and tested. Russia battle-tested the new missile in November by conducting a strike on a military factory in Ukraine. At the time, Moscow said the demonstration of the advanced weapon was a response to Western authorization allowing Kiev to use donated long-range missiles to strike deep inside Russian territory. The hypersonic medium-range missile is believed to be nuclear-capable, although Putin had previously stated its conventional form can inflict damage comparable to a low-yield nuclear explosion. The system is believed to have multiple independently guided warheads, which remain controllable even while traveling at extreme speeds.
