Details: The Ministry reports that unmanned combat systems will also be delivered to Belarus in October.
Background: At the end of June, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that in the near future, Russia would supply Belarus with Iskander-M short-range missile complexes, which can shoot ballistic and cruise missiles. Putin emphasised that these missiles can carry nuclear warheads.
