West considers using nuclear weapons against Belarus and Russia — top brass
On October 10, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said that the NATO leadership, as well as a number of European countries were considering options for possible aggression against Belarus, including a nuclear strike
MINSK, October 11. /TASS/. The Belarusian State Security Committee (KGB) is aware that the West is considering using tactical nuclear weapons against the republic and Russia, the organization’s chairman Ivan Tertel said during a Belarus-1 TV broadcast on Tuesday.
"According to the information that we extract from the Western military and political circles, they believe that they must not lose in any case (in the Ukrainian conflict - TASS). That is why the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons or using those groups that are created for direct aggression against our country and against our allies is being discussed," Tertel said.
On October 10, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said that the NATO leadership, as well as a number of European countries were considering options for possible aggression against Belarus, including a nuclear strike. According to him, Belarus and Russia are beginning to build up a joint regional grouping of troops due to the escalation of the situation on the western borders of the Union State (of Russia and Belarus - TASS).

Belarus leader says his warplanes have been modified to carry nuclear weapons
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Friday that his military's SU-24 warplanes had been modified to carry nuclear weapons and that Minsk would react immediately if the West caused it any problems.
Lukashenko said he had agreed the move to modernise Belarusian warplanes with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Belta news agency reported.
Belarus, a staunch Russian ally, does not have its own nuclear weapons. Lukashenko did not go into details about how a weapons transfer from Moscow, which is using Belarusian territory to mount what it calls its "special military operation" against Ukraine, might take place.
Belta cited Lukashenko as talking about a potential future threat from neighbouring Poland, a NATO member, while saying he was confident that the Polish military, unlike Warsaw's politicians, understood how Minsk could respond to what he called any escalation.
His overall remarks appeared to be referring to a potential threat from the West in general.
"They (the West) must understand that if they opt for escalation no helicopters or planes will save them," Lukashenko was quoted as saying.
