Has Belarus sold Russian fighters to Sudan?
A shipment of new Russian MIG-29
tactical fighters has recently arrived into Sudan
from Belarus,
Sudan Tribune reported citing "a source familiar with the matter."
The source who spoke on condition of
anonymity said that a dozen MIG-29 combat fighters were shipped discreetly by
planes through a Belarusian company two weeks ago.
However, the source could not
confirm whether the fighters were actually sold by Belarus or they simply shipped
through the East European country.
Belarus is one of the Sudan armament providers. A
military cooperation protocol covering training, exchange of experiences, and
military science fields was inked between the two countries in June 2006, the
newspaper reports.
