Belarus has signed agreements for the supply of Russian Mi-35 attack helicopters and the second batch of Su-30SM fighters, Chief of the Air Force and Air Defense Command of the Armed Forces of Belarus, Major-General Igor Golub told reporters on January 14. This reported by BelTA.

Contracts on supplying multirole fighter helicopters Mi-35 and another batch of Su-30SM jet fighters have been signed already. Apart from that, pre-contract work continues on replacing S-300 air defense missile systems with S-400 and Pantsir-S systems.

“Meanwhile, as part of combat work we use onboard defense systems, which help with active jamming, in a test mode for now in order to protect attack aircraft and helicopters against the weapons that may be used against them,” Igor Golub said.

The officer added that this year the army intends to commission Russia's radar stations Protivnik-G and Vostok.
