Belarusian armed forces have stopped using Russia's Su-27 fighter jets, Belarusian Defense Minister Yury Zhadobin told a press conference on Wednesday.

"We have stopped using Su-27 aircraft. We will either sell them or modernize them or repair them," Zhadobin said.

According to the minister, Su-27 fighter jets have little lifespan left judging by some technical parameters. These aircraft have been used for 25 years, he added.

Earlier, Belarus already had withdrawn from service Su-24 fighter jets. At present, Belarusian aviation uses Su-25 and MiG- 29 aircraft. Moreover, the Belarusian military exploit transport planes Il-76 and An-26.
