Belarus is ready to deploy "dozen" Oreshnik complexes - Lukashenko
Self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko has said that Minsk will be able to deploy about 10 Oreshnik complexes on its territory, which will be supplied by Russia.
He told journalists about this, as quoted by the Belarusian news agency BELTA, Censor.NET reports.
According to the Belarusian dictator, if necessary, "it is not necessary to limit ourselves to a dozen".
"I think it's a dozen for now, and then we'll see. If the Russians want to deploy more, we will deploy more," Lukashenka said.
He also added that he had already "chosen several places" where they could be deployed.
Earlier, Lukashenka said that he was already choosing a location for the Russian Oreshnik complex, which Russian dictator Vladimir Putin had promised to hand over to him.
