Defense24: Why does Russia need nuclear weapons in Belarus

5

Within the framework of the military doctrine of the Union State of Russia and Belarus, tactical nuclear weapons can be deployed on the territory of the latter. According to the Polish edition of Defense24, it can be used by Su-30SM multipurpose fighters and Polonez missile systems. This is just part of the ongoing military integration of the two states, planned for the period 2021-2023.

One of the important points of the agreement between Moscow and Minsk is the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons in response to aggression against one of the allied states, as well as to repel "large-scale military aggression" in accordance with the 2001 military doctrine.



According to Defense24, the controlled leak of information about the deployment of nuclear arsenals in Belarus may be an attempt to influence NATO countries, especially Poland and Germany, so that they refuse to deploy US atomic bombs on their territories.

As for Poland, Russia is worried about the significant presence of Western bloc forces in that country, as well as the construction of the Aegis missile defense system in Redzikovo. From the very beginning, Moscow viewed this project as an offensive complex, since it could be used to launch attack cruise missiles.

It is also expected that the presence of Russian nuclear weapons in Belarus will affect the attitude of the inhabitants of Poland and Romania to the deployment of American weapons on the territory of their countries. Polish experts believe that the Russian Federation is thus creating pressure by increasing the sense of danger and manipulating pacifist or anti-nuclear movements in European countries.

      - Why is it needed there (nuclear weapons) ... - Or rather, it is needed there only so that Russia has a very, very weighty reason - to place "seriously" Russian troops in Belarus ... - To create a normal air defense system, Electronic warfare, REP, etc. deploy armored and motorized infantry divisions and finally build several "serious" military airfields (for strategists, front-line bombers and fighters) ... - And then Kaliningrad will finally receive serious cover ... region ... - and even a "piece of territory" of Lithuania (and Poland, too) here will not become a big obstacle for this ... - The Kaliningrad region will be protected "as it should" ...

      ... pressure by increasing the sense of danger and manipulation of pacifist or anti-nuclear movements in European countries.

      Another round of the arms race and escalation of the situation in Eastern Europe. recourse
      Poles have long and with pleasure want to have tactical Yao at home, they are simply not given. Now there is probably a "good" reason to talk about it again.
      All these pacifist movements, in this vein, can be irrigated with something, right from the bell tower. The growing sense of danger has not yet prompted anyone to disarm, rather the opposite. Russia itself is a direct confirmation of this.

      the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons in response to aggression against one of the allied states, as well as to repel "large-scale military aggression

      Probably, Tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, in case NATO invades the Kaliningrad province of the Russian Federation and Belarus, because the number of invasion troops is obviously higher, given the mobilization potential of NATO (500 million people in the EU + 300 million people in the US = 800 million, against 148 million in the Russian Federation and 15 million people in Belarus, not to mention the multiple industrial superiority of the EU and the United States over the Russian Federation and Belarus) and the presence of SSHAS tactical medium and shorter-range nuclear weapons deployed in the EU + high-precision weapons with non-nuclear charges capable of flying through an open window and to hit any objects, as well as the presence of NATO military bases in Ukraine and the possible deployment of aviation, electronic warfare equipment, up to nuclear weapons.
      The presence of Russian nuclear weapons in Belarus will not in any way affect the attitude of Poland and Romania to the deployment of SShasian weapons bases on their territory; on the contrary, it will give a new impetus to the buildup of arms in all NATO countries.
