Deployment of "Oreshnik" hypersonic missile in Belarus: is a new era beginning?

One of the latest achievements of Russia’s military industry — the "Oreshnik" hypersonic ballistic missile system — will officially arrive on Belarusian territory in the coming weeks, reported aa.com. President Alexander Lukashenko specifically mentioned this at a solemn meeting dedicated to Independence Day. According to him, the first positions of the "Oreshnik" missiles will be deployed in the country and will become fully operational by the end of the year.

Lukashenko stated that this decision was personally agreed upon with Russian President Vladimir Putin during talks in Volgograd. He emphasized that the technical capabilities of "Oreshnik" were fully demonstrated during tests and that this system plays a significant role in strengthening Belarus’ security. In his words, this military move serves to bolster the country’s sovereignty and strengthen its defense potential against external threats.

"Oreshnik" is a hypersonic ballistic missile equipped with several warheads and can be used in both nuclear and conventional configurations. The range of the complex is 5500 km, and it is regarded as one of the most advanced examples of modern military technology. The deployment of the missile in Belarus is expected to impact not only regional but also global strategic balance.

According to experts, this step signifies the start of a new stage for Belarus, both militarily and politically. The new hypersonic missiles not only strengthen the country's defense system but also provide a stable position against external threats.

In the coming weeks, there is great interest in how the "Oreshnik" system will be deployed, what impact it will have on regional security, and how it will be evaluated on the international stage. One thing is clear: a new page is opening in Belarus' security doctrine, and serious changes in the country's defense policy are likely to begin. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
