Russia and Belarus conduct aerial patrols along borders

MINSK, 12 January 2022, (TON): The Belarusian Defense Ministry said “Russian and Belarusian pilots conducted another joint patrol.”

The ministry’s Telegram channel said “Belarusian and Russian pilots carry out tasks of joint patrolling of the air borders of the Union State on multipurpose Su-30SM fighters.”

Moscow and Minsk decided to increase the composition of the air defense duty forces and more often fly around the state border due to the increased frequency of flights of various types of aviation near the borders of Belarus.

This is necessary to prevent violations of the border in the airspace, the Belarusian Defense Ministry explained.

The ministry also noted the growth of military activity in neighboring EU states. In particular, Poland has increased the number of security forces due to the emergence of a spontaneous camp of Middle Eastern refugees on the Belarusian-Polish border.
