Belarus Buys More Russian Jets, Helicopters
The country has become the fifth to receive Yak-130s, and has renewed its fleet of Mil Mi-8s.

At the MILEX 2017 military expo held in Minsk from May 20 to 22, the Belarus defense ministry confirmed recent arrivals of new equipment from Russia and declared its intent to buy more. Since the previous expo two years ago, four Yak-130 jets and 18 Mil Mi-8 MTV-5 helicopters (export designation Mi-17V5) as well as a number of secondhand S-300PS long-range surface-to-air missiles (SAM) have arrived.
