For the first time in 2024, the An-124 of the Russian Aerospace Forces arrived twice in Belarus

It visited cities with aircraft repair plants.

According to the Belarusian Hajun monitoring group, for the first time in 2024, the An-124 aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces arrived at Baranavichy military airfield. It happened twice this week, on March 4 and 10.

In both cases, a few hours later, the aircraft flew from Baranavichy to Rzhev, Russia. These cities have one thing in common – aircraft repair plants are located there: JSC 558 Aircraft Repair Plant and JSC 514 Aircraft Repair Plant of the Russian Ministry of Defense, respectively.

Rzhev airfield serves both the needs of the Aircraft Repair Plant and is a reserve airfield for the Russian Aerospace Forces, and is currently undergoing infrastructure modernization.
