Recently, Russia has been increasingly actively striking Ukraine with “Daggers”. It also became known that for the first time in a long time, a MiG-31K flew to the Belarusians.

What is known about the arrival of the MiG-31K in Belarus

At 17:42 “Gayun” reported that the Russian MiG-31K fighter was landing at the Machulishchi airfield.

They noted that it is the MiG-31K fighters that are carriers of the Kh-47M2 “Kinzhal” hypersonic aeroballistic missile, which is capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 2,000 kilometers.

Monitors recalled that Russian MiG-31K fighters were last seen in Belarus on April 6 2023.

However, it is still unknown exactly what the reason for the arrival of the MiG-31K in Belarus is.

Recall that the last time the Russians attacked Ukraine with hypersonic Kinzhal missiles was on the morning of October 7. Then 3 missiles were fired at Starokonstantinov. The Air Force reported that the air defense managed to shoot down 2 Kinzhals.
