Russia provided Belarus with S-400 missile system, says Lukashenka

There is already one Russian S-400 missile system in Belarus for training purposes, Belarusian leader Alyaksandr Lukashenka said in an interview with the Russian news agency Rossiya Segodnya. According to him, it is not a training version, but a “combat system”.

“We created a facility, we are conducting training. Russia delivered the S-400 for it. Training is in progress, etc.,” Mr Lukashenka said in the interview quoted by the Belarusian Telegraph Agency (BelTA) on Wednesday.

“I want to ask the President of Russia to keep this system here,” the Belarusian leader added.

The S-400 Triumf is a Russian anti-aircraft and anti-missile mobile system.
