The exact location is named.
Belarusian activists have found out that the Russian occupants have placed their newest missile system "Oreshnik" at an abandoned airbase in Mogilev region. This facility is located just four kilometers from the border with Russia.
This is reported by "Militarny".
According to the "Community of Railwaymen of Belarus" elements of this medium-range missile system are based on the territory of the Krichev-6 airfield. Officially, this facility is designated as a logistics center.

Activists report that a large military echelon arrived in the area of the airbase between December 20 and 29. The destination station was Krichev I of the Mogilev branch of the Belarusian railroad. The train was sent from Kapustin Yar station of the Volga Railroad of the Russian Federation. That is where the famous missile range is located.
The choice of the station is not random. Krichev I is the nearest railroad station to the base. The sender of the echelon was the military unit 15644 - this is the 4th State Central Intermilitary Range of the Russian Federation.
The recipient of the cargo was the Department of Military Communications of the Armed Forces of Belarus, which organized the logistics.

How much equipment Putin transferred to Belarus
Activists counted dozens of wagons that carried not only equipment but also ammunition.
This is what was included in the train:
54 flatcars with military equipment;
6 boxcars with equipment;
1 boxcar with explosive materials and ammunition;
passenger cars with personnel.
The cargo was registered under the code of other cargoes not listed in the alphabet. This is a common practice for concealing classified shipments.
As of May 2026, the equipment remains in place. No return shipments have been recorded. The military contingent continues to stay at the Krichev-6 site.

What US intelligence says
The Americans also believe that this is the airfield where Oreshnik is hiding. According to their data, the complex is operated exclusively by Russians. Belarusian military are not allowed near "Oreshnik". The Belarusians themselves only provide perimeter security and logistics.
What else is known about "Oreshnik"
This missile is far from "fresh". Experts have found that the rocket was assembled in 2017 from components made in 2016 or even earlier. In addition, the on-board computer contains elements manufactured exclusively by Russia and Belarus.
The study of fragments of the secret Russian development has already been joined by Western allies, in particular, the wreckage of the "Oreshnik" was handed over to the US intelligence for study.
According to OSINT-researchers, the second Russian "Oreshnik" malfunctioned and fell on the positions of the occupiers themselves in Donetsk region. If these data are confirmed, it would mean that every fourth missile of this type crashes during launch.
