✍️🇱🇹🇷🇺 9 questions about what the possible deployment of nuclear weapons in Lithuania means for Russia 1. Has a decision been made to deploy nuclear weapons in Lithuania? No. Lithuania has so far only launched the procedure to repeal the constitutional ban on the deployment of weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear ones. A parliamentary committee has already supported the removal of Article 137 from the country's basic law. Parliament expects to hold the final vote in winter, and the autumn session may be extended until January 13, 2027. 2. Whose weapons could appear in Lithuania after the ban is lifted? Primarily American. The current system of NATO's joint nuclear missions is based on American thermonuclear B61 bombs stationed in Europe and dual-capable aircraft — Dual-Capable Aircraft, DCA. At the same time, the US retains full control over its munitions. Theoretically, the French arsenal could also be involved. 3. How is NATO's nuclear deterrence structured? It is not a direct transfer of nuclear weapons to allies. The US provides nuclear munitions; allies provide dual-capable DCA aircraft (certified for both conventional and nuclear strikes), infrastructure, security, communications, and conventional support forces. Political planning is carried out by NATO's Nuclear Planning Group. At the same time, final control over American munitions remains with the US. 4. What exactly could Lithuania receive — warheads or infrastructure? The first stage could well be infrastructure for hosting a nuclear mission: airfields, DCA, security and command assets. The possible deployment of American nuclear weapons was considered specifically as a measure for a military situation, not for peacetime. In the event of a serious crisis, having a pre-established legal framework shortens the path from political discussion to a practical decision. 5. What will change for the Kaliningrad region? Kaliningrad is already a forward area of the Russian grouping with Iskander-M operational-tactical missile systems, S-300/S-400 family air defense/missile defense assets, Bastion and Bal coastal missile systems, aviation, and Baltic Fleet forces. The appearance of NATO nuclear infrastructure in Lithuania would increase the exclave's intelligence and fire significance. 6. Will the warning time for a strike be reduced? Yes, for certain means of destruction. It all depends on the delivery vehicle: DCA, a cruise missile, or a ballistic missile can create different threat profiles. Therefore, the importance of long-range detection radars, space reconnaissance, electronic intelligence, fighter aviation, and layered air defense/missile defense increases. 7. How did Moscow react? Russia emphasized that if nuclear weapons aimed at the Russian Federation appear in Lithuania, the territory of that country will come under the sights of Russian nuclear weapons. For Russia, the geographic factor is fundamental: this concerns territory directly adjacent to the Kaliningrad region and Belarus. 8. What will change for Belarus and the Russian-Belarusian grouping? Belarus is already included in Russia's non-strategic nuclear deterrence contour. Russian Iskander-M systems and related air defense, aviation, and reconnaissance capabilities are acquiring yet another significance. The appearance of NATO nuclear infrastructure in Lithuania will strengthen the integration of the Russian and Belarusian systems. 9. Will the nuclear factor increase Lithuania's security? For Lithuania, nuclear weapons supposedly strengthen deterrence. But at the same time, it increases Lithuania's own significance as a military target. For Russia, this means the need to take into account a new potential element of NATO nuclear infrastructure when planning in the Kaliningrad and Belarusian directions. A dilemma arises: a measure intended to increase security through deterrence may simultaneously lead to a strengthening of the military component on both sides of the border.
