In accordance with an edict of the President of Belarus in 2001, the Air Force, and Air Defense troops were created as one of the arms of the Armed Forces of Belarus.

The Air Force and Air Defense of the Armed Forces of Belarus are organized into six major flying regiments, including two interceptor, three strike, and a reconnaissance regiments. There were 4 active airbases: Baranovichi (61st Assault Air Base), Lida (116th Guards Assault Air Base), Pruzhany (181st Combat Helicopter Base) and Machulishi (50th Mixed Air Base), as of December 2011. Belarus had 17 Su-27P and 4 Su-27UBM1 aircraft remaining when they were retired in December 2012.

Never say never though, as there are reports that Belarus may modernise their Flankers in the future.

This is another lovely and very specific set of decals for Belarusian Air Force Su-27 aircraft.

Thumbnail panels:

The decals are all in register, thin, and with minimal carrier film. The decals cover 6 different aircraft and rely upon the kit supplied stencils. As always with Linden Hill Decals, you are provided with a wealth of information in the form of text, and full colour profiles of the aircraft.

The paint schemes are all with reference to AKAN colours and the decals cover the following aircraft:

• Su-27P, Flanker B, Bort 23, 1st Squadron, 61 IAB, Baranovich AB, Belarus.

• Su-27P, Flanker B, Bort 33, 1st Squadron, 61 IAB, Baranovich AB, Belarus.

• Su-27UBM1, Flanker C, Bort 60, 1st Squadron, 61 IAB, Baranovich AB, Belarus.

• Su-27UBM1, Flanker C, Bort 64, 1st Squadron, 61 IAB, Baranovich AB, Belarus.

Another great and very targeted product from Linden Hill Decals.

Highly recommended.
