Political analyst believes that threats to "Oreshnik" will increase, but they do not pose a real danger.
The lack of appropriate infrastructure in Belarus for Russian missile systems, which Russian President Vladimir Putin calls “Oreshnik”, makes the statement of self-proclaimed Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko about their deployment questionable.
This opinion was expressed by an expert on Russia studies, political analyst Igor Tishkevich on the air of the Kiev24 TV channel.
According to him, Lukashenko's statement about the transfer of a dozen “Oreshniks” to Belarus from the Russian Federation looks like an information attempt to raise the stakes.
At the same time, Igor Tishkevich assumes that such rhetoric will continue to be heard, threats of “Oreshniks” will be to escalate to the point of a demonstrative demonstration of preparations for the deployment of the aforementioned missile systems.
“The key thing here is to look at the accompanying mechanisms. Is there a place where they are going to deploy them, infrastructure, etc. If this is not created, then we are talking more about an attempt to intimidate with words than about real actions,” the expert is convinced.
Earlier, self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko asked Putin for an Oreshnik missile to deploy it on the territory of the Republic of Belarus. On December 26, in a comment to journalists at the end of the summit of the Eurasian Economic Union, Lukashenko did not rule out that a dozen Oreshnik systems could appear on the territory of Belarus.
Recall that Russian President Vladimir Putin admitted that Russia has a few missiles, which he calls “Oreshnik”. But the master of the Kremlin assured that this weapon exists and can be used “tomorrow or today”.
