Saint-Petersburg. June 25. INTERFAX - Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the decision to transfer Iskander M missile systems to Belarus.

"As we agreed with you - you raised the question about this - we have made a decision. In the coming months, we will transfer Iskander M tactical missile systems to Belarus, which can use both ballistic and cruise missiles, both in conventional and nuclear versions," Putin said at a meeting with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko in St. Petersburg on Saturday.

The President of the Russian Federation "proposed to instruct the Ministers of Defense and the chiefs of the General Staffs to work out all the details related to this joint work."

The Iskander-M OTRK was developed at the Kolomna Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering (High-Precision Complexes Holding). In the variant for the Russian army, the complex includes two types of missiles: ballistic and cruise.

The flight range of the Iskander-M missiles was officially called - up to 500 km. It was reported that the missiles of the complex can carry a nuclear warhead. The complex is in service with missile brigades of the Russian Ground Forces. Iskander-M replaced the Tochka-U OTRK.
