A new batch of Russian-made Su-30SM2 fighter aircraft has arrived at a Belarusian airfield, the press office of the republic’s Defense Ministry reported.

A previous batch of Russian-made Su-30SM2 fighter aircraft entered service with the Belarusian Air Force and Air Defense Troops.

The arrival of new aircraft is always is a remarkable day for military aviators, Deputy Commander of the Belarusian Air Force and Air Defense Troops, Chief of Aviation Alexander Belyayev said.

"Flying a fighter jet that has just come from the factory is both an honor and a pleasure but it also brings a lot of responsibilities with it. The feeling of responsibility experienced by the aviation personnel in servicing such aircraft is enormous. We have no right to let down our people and our country. That is why, we will do everything to ensure that our beloved Motherland remains peaceful and flourishing," the ministry’s press office quoted him as saying.

The previous batch of Russian-made Su-30SM2 fighter aircraft arrived at a Belarusian airfield in late December.
