OREANDA-NEWS Planning for the use of the Oreshnik complex will be completed at the Zapad-2025 Belarusian-Russian military exercises in September, said Viktor Khrenin, head of the Belarusian Defense Ministry.
"This is an important element of strategic deterrence for us, first of all. As the head of state demands, we must be prepared for everything. We see the situation on our western and northern borders and cannot calmly observe militarization and military activity. We demonstrate our openness and peacefulness, but the powder should always be kept dry," the Belta news agency quoted him as saying.
Planning for the use of tactical "nuclear weapons" will be worked out at the exercises, the minister noted. He stressed that the Belarusian military, together with their Russian colleagues, would work out the scheme for using the Oreshnik complex.
For the first time, the latest Russian medium-range system was tested on November 21. A blow was then struck at one of the key plants of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex in Dnepropetrovsk. This was a response to the permission of Ukraine's Western allies to strike deep into Russia with long-range missiles.
At the end of July, Pavel Muraveyko, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces and First Deputy Minister of Defense of Belarus, said that in the scenario of the upcoming Zapad—2025 exercises in September there were no offensive issues, they were exclusively defensive in nature.
Khrenin had previously announced a decision to reduce the parameters of the exercises and move the main maneuvers deep into the republic from the western borders. Later, the assistant to the head of the department, Valery Revenko, explained that it was planned to reduce the number of participants by almost half.
