This development, reported by Belarusian Hajun on Telegram, indicates that the aircraft has landed at the Machulishchy airfield, just two days after the first MiG-31K aircraft was deployed.
The arrival of these advanced fighter jets is notable not only for their capabilities but also because it marks the first time in 1.5 years that such aircraft have been stationed in Belarus, with the last presence recorded on April 6, 2023.
