State Secretary of the Security Council Alexander Volfovich said that the possibility of equipping the Belarusian Polonaise missile system with nuclear warheads is being considered. The complex, created with the participation of China and later upgraded in Belarus, now has a range of up to 300 km and is classified as a precision weapon. Integration of Oreshnik technologies and joint work with Russia on the creation of modern missiles are also being discussed.

Volfovich stressed that this is not a threat to other countries, but a response to the military buildup in the West. Given the growing military threats, Belarus pays priority attention to strengthening its defense capability and strategic deterrence.
