The base of "daggers" in Belarus gives Russia a slight advantage in terms of tasks of strikes on additional purposes in Ukraine. Russia has probably transferred to Belarus two MiG-31K fighters, which are able to carry new hypersonic missiles "dagger". About it reports intelligence of the United Kingdom. The department published a satellite shot for October 17, which shows that two MiG-31K was parked at the Belarusian airfield. They also stored a container related to the dagger missiles.

The Defense Ministry noted that this type of weapon has been located in Russia since 2018, but has not been unfolded in Belarus before. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation from time to time launch "daggers" in the territory of Ukraine, but their reserves are very limited. In addition, this type of missile is used against goals that are of limited operational importance.

In intelligence of Britain, it is believed that having a range of more than 2000 km, the base of "daggers" in Belarus gives Russia a small advantage in terms of strikes for additional purposes in Ukraine. They are probably made to depict the countries of Belarus as an increasing accomplice to the war against Ukraine. "Dagger" is a Russian rocket complex with high -precision hypersonic aerobalistic missile. It is able to impress targets at a distance of more than 2,000 km.

At the same time, the rocket is guaranteed to overcome all available and developed air defense systems. Operation began in 2018. We will remind, on October 20 in Belarus raised fighters of the MiG-31K with missiles "dagger" from aerodromes in Makhulshchi and Baranovichi. The Belarusian Ministry of Defense explained the maneuvers of the Russian air group by the planned patrol of borders.
