Russian MiG-31Ks Arriving in Belarus Probably Returned to Russia

According to several sources, the Russian MiG-31K fighters that were spotted in Belarus on October 9 and 10 could have left the country the following day. They took off from the Machulishchi airfield at 15:10 on October 10, but the fate of these aircraft is still questionable.

Immediately after takeoff, several monitoring channels reported a possible landing of the fighters at the same airfield, but there is no confirmation of this. Analysis of available data indicates that after takeoff, the MiG-31Ks headed south, flew past Baranovichi, and then headed east toward Russian territory. At the moment, it is considered most likely that the fighters returned to Russia.

The MiG-31Ks are carriers of the Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, making them a strategically important element in the combat arsenal of the Russian Aerospace Forces. The arrival of these aircraft in Belarus has attracted considerable attention from international observers and military analysts, as it may indicate preparations for possible operations or a show of force in the region. However, their possible departure within XNUMX hours of arrival leaves many questions unanswered.
