"All this will be combined with Russia's annual nuclear forces exercise," he added. The term dual capable, which Stoltenberg used for the Iskander missiles, is used to describe weapons meant for conventional and nuclear warfare.Reporting by Sabine Siebold; Editing by Benoit Van OverstraetenSubscribe to our daily curated newsletter to receive the latest exclusive Reuters coverage delivered to your inbox.
