The Head of the Russian Missile Forces says they haven't ruled out the possibility of supplying short-range missiles to Belarus. The Iskander system deployment would be in response to U.S. AMD plans in Europe. He adds it would some way address what he sees as the current imbalance between Russian and U.S. missiles.
The statement comes as the Chief of the Russian Armed Forces General Staff, Yury Baluevsky, is in Brussels taking part in a NATO meeting.
He's distanced himself from his colleague but saw no reason why Russia couldn't provide missiles to Belarus. |
