On 04 Dec SFS An-124 CONDOR RA-82037 RFF8476 is southbound over TUR. It allegedly took off from Krasnodar; however, it is more likely that it took off from somewhere else.

So, it is RA-96025 RSD369 and Il-96PU CAMBER Airborne Command Post RA-96022 RSD221 that are going to Delhi. RA-96022 is Putin’s ‘old’ airplane and though it has been upgraded, Putin is likely on RA-96025, but we will see.

According to tracking RA-96024 took off from Moscow (VKO) but was later tracked flying from Moscow (ZIA) to Moscow (SVO). This is odd!

More spoofing by a Russian charter airline. On 03 Dec Avikon Tsitotrans Il-76TD CANDID RA-76834 flew from Turkmenistan TKM to Moscow (SVO). Along the way it appeared to take a detour over UKR. It did not!
