According to the “Air Forces Monthly” author, the aircraft was bought in Belarus in the 1990s. Russian analysts believe that the Su-27 can have been bought from Ukraine in 2008-2009.

Operation of the Su-27 was discontinued by the Belarusian Armed Forces in 2012, but in 2014 it was decided to conduct their overhaul and modernization. At the moment Belarus uses lighter destroyers MiG-29.

Secrecy around the activities near Groom Lake gave rise to many conspiracy theories, including those related to aliens.
