Joint tactical flight training of aviation units of the armies of Putin and Lukashenka has begun in Belarus. The Armed Forces of Ukraine note that air raid signals may be heard more often in Ukraine. Zhdanov assessed the threat of new strikes against Ukraine.

Military expert Oleg Zhdanov spoke about this in a stream on his YouTube channel, Channel 24 reports. He stressed that the Belarusian media reported that fighters and cargo planes from Russia had already arrived in the country.

According to him,4 Su-34 fighters and 4 Su-30 fighters, as well as 4 AN military transport aircraft – three of them arrived from Russia, and one was already in Belarus.

That is, the Russian group of troops concentrated on the airfield in Baranovichi. After all, on January 16, tactical flight exercises of the joint Belarusian and Russian air forces began in Belarus. They will last 2 weeks until February 1,” Zhdanov said.

In his opinion,this is a threat. “After all, the Su-34 is a front-line bomber, and the Su-30 is a multi-purpose aircraft that can carry air-to-ground missiles,” the military expert emphasized.

According to Zhdanov, 4 AN aircraft are a Russian transport aircraft, probably a Ruslan of Ukrainian origin, which Russia produced in Voronezh.

“She riveted them as much as it could, until Ukraine stopped supplying spare parts for them, in particular engines. Therefore, there are quite a lot of them in Russia,” the expert added.
