Russian air base to be located in Baranovichi not in Lida

Previously Lida was named the possible place of the Russian military. 

"We have never planned those things in Lida. It will be placed in Baranavichi. We are waiting for the decision of the intergovernmental commission," RIA Novosti reports Bondarev saying. General confirmed that the base will accomodate Su-27 destroyers. 

It should be recalled that in spring 2013 Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told the press about Russia's plans to place a fighter wing on the territory of Belarus in 2015. It was also reported that the Russian air base would be located in Lida and and it would host modified Su-27SM3 destroyers.
