The Russian Ministry of Defense said that soldiers delivered ammunition to the field bases of the missile brigade in Belarus as part of nuclear exercises.
The ministry published a video showing military trucks driving on dirt and forest roads. The ammunition was later unloaded during a storm. The last recording shows the Iskander ballistic missile system.
According to the Russian ministry, military personnel “performed training missions to obtain special ammunition”, loaded Iskander-M missiles into launchers and “secretly moved to a designated location to prepare for launch.”
Exercises are underway in Belarus and Russia
Russia announced earlier that on May 19-21, the Russian Armed Forces will conduct exercises on the preparation and use of nuclear weapons. The exercises were to include joint preparation and use of nuclear weapons stationed in Belarus.
