Russia is again attempting to threaten NATO, claiming to be making good on parts of Vladimir Putin\u2019s statement that he would be \u2014 eventually \u2013moving nuclear weapons into Belarus.<\/p>\n
Shorter range but operationally flexible, \u201cIskander-M tactical missile systems\u201d have been deployed to Belarus, and Belarussian crews have travelled to Russia to receive training in their operation, Moscow has said. The missile can be equipped with several different warheads using conventional explosives for different purposes, or it can carry a small nuclear warhead.<\/p>\n
A statement published by a Russian government wires service on these comments by defence minister Sergey Shoigu on the deployment of nuclear-capable weapon systems to Belarus, which borders four European Union members, appeared to have been timed to coincide with Tuesday\u2019s ceremony to welcome Finland to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). Russia has long campaigned against Finland joining NATO, and protested NATO expansion in general, accusing the bloc of encroaching upon their territory.<\/p>\n
Moscow said it will keep a \u201cclose eye\u201d on their new 800-mile border with NATO, and threatened \u201ccounter measures\u201d including \u201call necessary military-technical precaution measures\u201d.<\/p>\n
