    Me too. Maybe Russia already has some there, but this announcement is for press consumption and to see how the West reacts.

    Sounds like a GREAT reason for the west to upgrade the missile defense. He set the stage, I think it is time to bring back the Start Wars program is scared them silly the last time I think it would be funny to leak to the press that we never stopped working on it and it is functional!

    Brilliant Pebbles was operational in the late 1990s but never deployed. Want to never worry about ICBMs? Deploy lots of these:

    Why not just say they are already there as you are deploying them! Biden is not smart enough to use information. Putin know he can run circles around Biden.

    If they are their, Russia already knows about it. I assume they don't have cloaking devices. Yet.

    That would be funny, Announce we have cloaking devices and we soon will have them for our plane, ships and missiles

    Sometimes all you have to do is give them something to think about

    I noticed that they made the announcement about “tactical” nuclear weapons. I’m sure there were already nuclear weapons in Belarus.

    Yes, this is just a politically strategic move on Putin’s part.

    Belarus units complete training on Russian tactical nuclear missile systems

    Units from Belarus returned home from Russia on Saturday after training on how to use the Iskander tactical missile system to launch nuclear weapons, the Belarusian defence ministry said.


    It made the announcement exactly four weeks after President Vladimir Putin said Russia would station tactical nuclear weapons in neighbouring Belarus, sending a warning to NATO over its military support for Ukraine.



    In early February, Belarus said its armed forces were in autonomous control of Iskander mobile guided missile systems that Russia had already provided.


    But when the units were sent to Russia on April 4 for additional training, Minsk made clear their sessions would include study of "the maintenance and use of tactical nuclear warheads of the Iskander missile defense system".


    Those units returned to Belarus on Saturday, the defence ministry said on Telegram.

    Belarus receives nuclear bombs ‘three times size of Hiroshima bomb’ from Russia

    Belarus has started taking the delivery of Russian tactical nuclear weapons, president Alexander Lukashenko announced, claiming that some of these were three times more powerful than the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.


    Mr Lukashenko said “the bombs are three times more powerful than those (dropped on) Hiroshima and Nagasaki”, adding to his previous statement that he didn’t simply ask Mr Putin for the weapons, but "demanded" them.


    The Vladimir Putin ally was speaking to Russian state TV channel Rossiya-1 on a road in a forest clearing with military vehicles and a storage facility visible in the background seen around him.


    This will be the first such warhead deployment by Moscow, comprising shorter-range less powerful nuclear weapons that could potentially be used on the battlefield, outside of Russia since the fall of the Soviet Union.


    The interview was posted on the Belarusian Belta state news agency’s Telegram channel on Wednesday.


    This comes five days after the Russian president announced plans to start deploying tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, even as Moscow will retain their control, after the special storage facilities to park them were ready.

    Mr Lukashenko further confirmed his close ally’s statement in the state television interview where he said Belarus has numerous nuclear storage facilities from the Soviet-era and has restored five or six of them.
