Russia and Belarus Stage Joint Nuclear Weapons Drills The recent joint military exercises between Russia and Belarus have sent a clear signal to the international community about the escalating nuclear rivalry between Moscow and the West.
The deployment of Russian nuclear capable hypersonic missiles to Belarus last year was already a worrying development, but the staging of these drills takes it to a new level.
According to the Belarusian Defence Ministry, the exercises aim to practice issues related to delivering nuclear munitions and preparing their use in cooperation with Russia.
