Russia and Belarus start simulating MiG-31K launches - Belarusian Hajun monitoring project

The Belarusian Hajun monitoring project reported the information.

"We believe that yesterday the fighter jets from Baranovichi conducted simulation flights at the airfield in Machulishchy. And the goal was, probably, to simulate the takeoff of a MiG-31K when a standard Su fighter takes off," the report says.

The monitoring project notes that it is extremely difficult to distinguish between Su and MiG takeoffs without visual observation.

On February 10, 3 takeoffs of a reconnaissance aircraft and MiG-31K fighters were recorded in Belarus. However, the last 2 cases had some strange coincidences. In particular, the fact that the aircraft did not return to the Machulishchy airfield from which they took off.

The Belarusian Hajun notes that in the morning a group of fighter jets flew to Machulishchy from Baranovichi. During the day, they took off from the Machulishchy airfield, and the sound of takeoff was very similar to MiG-31K and A-50.

• On the morning of February 10, Russia attacked Ukraine with missiles: there were hits on infrastructure in several regions, air defense was operating. In the Kharkiv region, 8 people were injured. Ukraine declared a large-scale air raid alert 3 times because of the takeoffs of Russian MiG-31Ks in Belarus.
