Three Russian Su-30 fighters arrived at the Belarusian airfield of Baranovichi, the Belarusian Hajun monitoring project reported on Telegram on Sept. 29.
The group said in a statement that the last time Russian fighter jets flew between Russia and Belarus was in late March. After that, Russia withdrew most of its warplanes to Russian territory.
Some of the aircraft that remained in Belarus served to train new Russian fighter pilots.
According to Hajun, this batch of Su-30SM fighters was expected to be de-livered to Belarus in October.
"But today, the fighters arrived not from the factory, but those that are in service with the Russian Aerospace Forces with registration numbers RF-81772, RF-81760 and RF-81758," the report reads.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, Belarus is also preparing to accommo-date 20,000 newly mobilized conscripts from Russia.
