Russia has deployed the first four Su-27SM3 fighter jets to Belarus.
Earlier this year, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced plans to step up its military presence in Belarus by establishing an air base in the country..
The aircraft are a modernized variant of the Su-27, fitted with new engines, missiles and a glass cockpit.
Under the plan, further Russian jet fighters are to be deployed to the air base by 2015.
