Russian Aerospace Forces are redeploying aircraft and helicopters

We can expect runway repairs at Lida and Machulishchy airfields in the near future.

According to the Belarusian Hajun monitoring group, today from 10:30 to 13:30, at least nine Su-34 and Su-30SM fighters of the Russian Aerospace Forces relocated from Machulishchy airfield to Baranavichy airfield. The aircraft had been temporarily stationed at Machulishchy airfield since May 18 due to runway repairs at Baranavichy airfield.

Earlier (from January 15 to May 18), the fighters were stationed at Baranavichy airfield, where they arrived to participate in the joint Airforce drills of the Russian Aerospace Forces and Belarusian Air Force. During their stay in Belarus, we recorded the rotation of separate aircraft.

In turn, from 14:00 to 15:00, nine helicopters of the Russian Aerospace Forces were relocated from Baranavichy airfield to Machulishchy airfield.

The helicopters were relocated from Machulishchy to Baranavichy on May 18 because of the redeployment of fighters of the Russian Aerospace Forces mentioned above to Machulishchy airfield. In total, at least eleven helicopters of the Russian Aerospace Forces may be currently stationed in Belarus.

A group of helicopters of the Russian Aerospace Forces arrived in Belarus on January 8 to take part in the joint Airforce drills. From January 19 to February 5, the helicopters were stationed at Luninets airfield. From February 5 to May 18, they were stationed at Machulishchy airfield. During their stay in Belarus, we recorded not only the rotation of separate aircraft, but also their loss.

We recall that on July 17, four Su-30SM fighters of the Belarusian Air Force were redeployed from Lida airfield to Baranavichy airfield. The repair of runways at Lida and Machulishchy airfields can be expected in the near future. Earlier, construction materials were purchased for this purpose.
