The Belarusian air force has been upgraded with the capacity to launch nuclear weapons, Russia has claimed.
A select group of Belarus's ground attack planes have been given the ability to strike with weapons of destruction, effectively being made nuclear-capable, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said today.
"Some of the Belarusian ground attack aircraft have gained the ability to strike at enemy targets with nuclear-armed weapons," he said during a conference call at the military department.
