Prior to the deployment, Belarusian soldiers were trained on &#8220;nuclear simulators&#8221; for Iskander missile systems, Kyrylo Budanov said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A senior defense official in Minsk later announced that the country&#8217;s soldiers had been trained to use nuclear weapons at training and real-life facilities in Russia.
