Details: Belaruski Hajun reports that between 16:00 and 16:30, two Russian MiG-31K fighter jets, which can carry Kinzhal missiles, took off from the Belarusian Machulishchy airfield. They were later joined by another aircraft, possibly of the same model.

Together with them, an A-50U long-range radar detection aircraft took off. It coordinates Russian pilots who land missile strikes on Ukraine.

Update: According to Belaruski Hajun’s observations, during the day, three A-50 AWACS aircraft and at least five MiG-31K fighters took off from Machulishchy airfield alone. This is a record number of flights of these types of aircraft in one day. 

Update: At 18:30, the air-raid siren was cancelled. This time, it lasted two hours.

Background: On 10 February, Russia launched another massive missile attack on Ukraine. As a result, an air-raid siren was sounded throughout the country for 3.5 hours.

After 13:00, Russian MiGs in Belarus took off again and a new air-raid siren was announced. It lasted about an hour. There was no second massive attack.
