Russia continues to deploy MiG-31K fighters to Belarus

The second MiG-31K fighter of the Russian Aerospace Forces landed at the Machulishchi airfield in Belarus. According to sources, this happened shortly after the first MiG-31K arrived at the same airfield yesterday.

These fighters are capable of carrying the Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, making them an important strategic element in the arsenal of the Russian armed forces. The arrival of two MiG-31Ks in Belarus was an important event in the context of the ongoing strengthening of military cooperation between Russia and Belarus.

The MiG-31K is a modification of the MiG-31 supersonic interceptor designed to use hypersonic aeroballistic missiles. These missiles can hit targets at a distance of up to 2 km, which gives them a significant advantage in maneuverability and speed. Such capabilities make the MiG-000K one of the key elements of Russia's air potential.

The arrival of the second MiG-31K in Belarus may indicate a further strengthening of Russia's military presence in the region. Experts suggest that these actions may be related to the strengthening of defensive and offensive capabilities against the backdrop of the current geopolitical situation. However, there have been no official statements from the Russian or Belarusian authorities regarding the reasons for the arrival of these fighters.
