Belarus to become Russia's missile platform - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD
Belarus is preparing to host Russia’s new Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile system, a deployment with continent-wide consequences.
Minsk claims it is a defensive step, but the system’s command structure and mobility suggest a forward posture designed for escalation.
