As before the attack on Ukraine in 2022: Russia delivers military goods to Belarus (infographic) to Belarus

To spread: in the summer Russian transport aircraft IL-76 and An-124-100 began flights to Belarusian airfields, in particular to the Machulic Aviabase. Due to the joint Russian-Belarusian military training "West 2025", the Russian-Belarusian military exercise, in June, the transport aviation of the Russian Federation began flights to the aerodromes of the satellite country, informs Avivector resource.

The enthusiasts of military and civil aviation studies have visualized some of the recent flights to and from Belarus. Flights of military transport aircraft IL-76 and heavy "transporters" An-124-100 are carried out at the Air Force Air Force in the village of Machulyshchi, Minsk district. The "militaristic" portal emphasizes that this base is one of the few in the RB, which is capable of taking such aircraft.

Since the beginning of a full-scale invasion of the airfield, there were temporarily aircraft of long-range A-50 radar detection and MiG-31 fighters that Russia used to perform combat missions against Ukraine. The scenario and the scale of future exercises are repeated by the Union Determination training, which from February 10 to February 20, 2022 were conducted in the territory of the Republic of Belarus. Four days after their graduation, Russian troops invaded Ukraine.

At the same time, the Minister of Defense of Belarus Lieutenant General Viktor Khrenin stated that the main maneuvers will be moved deep into the country, further from the borders with NATO countries. However, according to Politico, against the background of increasing threats from Russia, the ministers of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have signed an Agreement on Coordination of Actions.

In the document, officials agreed to establish an exchange of operational information, develop evacuation routes, pay special attention to the vulnerable categories of the population, and to assess the status of border crossing points. Recall that in April, the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky did not rule out that joint exercises of Russia and Belarus in the fall can be used as a cover for the formation of a shock group.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky also does not exclude that Russia, hidden by military exercises, can prepare for a new offensive from the territory of Belarus to both Ukraine and Poland or the Baltic country. But, according to military observer Denis Popovich, in fact a new offensive on Kiev will be able to carry out the Russian command not earlier than spring 2026.
