Belarusian authorities announced on Tuesday “a surprise inspection of tactical weapons delivery vehicles, including Iskander launchers and Su-25 aircraft. They are adapted to carry Russian tactical nuclear weapons.”
Belarus boasts about its equipment
The Ministry of Defense decided to boast about the inspection. For this purpose, a video was made available in which Chief of the General Staff of Belarus, General Viktar Hulevich comments on activities. You can see it in the recording landing of the Su-25 planewhich can allegedly carry tactical weapons.
“It seems that the ministry was in a hurry to publish the film. The authors decided to retouch some parts of the plane, but something went wrong” – comments the Belarusian Nasha Niva.
Propagandists tried to blur some parts of the machine, probably so that possible opponents would not be able to see the weapons carried by the Su-25. They did it so clumsily that in some shots you can see that what was supposed to be a nuclear missile in fact, it is an ordinary suspended fuel tank.
What's more, the authors of the recording they carelessly concealed the plane's boarding number – it is easy to see that the numbers 2 and 4 are painted on the fuselage of the plane.
