Military transport aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces fly to Syria via Turkey

The Russian Ministry of Defense on Monday evening confirmed the flight of a heavy military transport aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces Il-76MD to the Russian airbase Khmeimim. At the same time, it is reported that the flight of the Russian plane passed through Turkish airspace. This follows from the monitoring data of Western aviation resources.

Reportedly, the Russian military transport Il-76MD took off from the airfield in Mozdok (North Ossetia) and, having traveled through Turkish airspace, landed safely at the Khmeimim airbase. Later that day, the plane returned to Russia. The nature of the cargo is not reported. A day earlier, on Sunday, at the Khmeimim airbase, two Tu-154B-2 aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces landed at once, which also flew through Turkish airspace.

The passage of the Black Sea Straits is confirmed by the large landing ship (BDK) Novocherkassk, which proceeded to Tartus. This was the fourth ship of the Russian Navy, which passed the straits after the escalation of the conflict in the Syrian province of Idlib. In front of him, two frigates Admiral Grigorovich and Admiral Makarov, as well as the BDK Orsk, passed to Syria.

Recall that earlier Lebanese information resources reported that several military transport aircraft Il-76 of the Russian Aerospace Forces landed at the Khmeimim airbase in the Syrian province of Latakia. At the same time, it was said about seven Il-76MD aircraft and two Tu-154B-2.

It is reported that the flight of the Russian plane passed through the airspace of Turkey.

Take a chance. Everything can be expected from the Ottomans. Moreover, their Russophobia is growing.

[bessmertniy]

But Turkish planes do not fly through Russia? If they fly, then they also take risks. And today, if Turkey does not miss these planes, then planes with tourists will not fly to Turkey.

"the planes with tourists will not fly to Turkey either."
yes .. here the Turks will have to choose: either tourists with money, or planes with bombs.
I guess they will "choose"

This, I understand, is the preparation of GDP for the meeting with the Sultan on March 5.

Well yes. There will be some "patriotic-tuned" Turkoman who will cut something like "hello to Putin!" On the belly of a dear guest with his grandfather's knife. Nafig-nafig.

[gohomeyanki]

yes ..... but there will be many such, they will go to Avos, well, because they have already bought tickets, and because they are inexpensive.

I think there are so many idiots in Russia. My neighbors on the site have booked trips to Turkey for the summer. They say that maybe everything will be settled by the summer and we'll go. In general, they don’t rush to refuse

Not only this year, but in general ... And how many "shuttle traders" of money invested in the Turkish economy in the 90s!
Therefore, in Russia you need to have as much of your own as possible, both in production (from household items to satellites) and in the field of inexpensive recreation! And all this is still needed "yesterday", tk. everything that was "the day before yesterday" was killed ...

[URAL72]

As far as I remember, a very long time ago, before the S-400, the Turks landed our plane. But now the situation is different, if the General Staff doubted it, they would bypass it. Most likely rotation, wounded, sick. The rest will go the other way ...

[g1v2]

This is the most interesting thing. In the media and social networks of Erdogan, spaceships are falling in bundles, and our soldiers are in droves. But in reality, our BTA flies through Turkey and deliver weapons. Moreover, the Turks do not touch them, but ours are not afraid that the Turks might offend them.
Il76 - this is most likely some kind of equipment that was not transported by sea, because it needs to be delivered quickly. Tu154 - this is the personnel brought. That is, some military unit with weapons and equipment was delivered to Syria. Moreover, the technique is such that breaks into il76. Something larger like the c400 or the Iskander would have to be carried by the Ruslans. Perhaps the means of electronic warfare? Just in the area of ​​the battalion - two.

Vitaly! I also have a feeling of the illogical nature of what is happening. But the logic should be.
To begin with, a direct military clash is equally not beneficial to either Russia or Turkey. Both sides mutually lose the benefits of TP-1 and 2, nuclear power plants, S-400, SU-35, tomatoes, tourist flow and much more.
Further, what will Erdogan get from the occupation of Idlib, which, according to the media, has become the meaning of life for him? A long-term smoldering conflict with Syria and a cooling of relations with Russia that will lead to retaliatory actions. For example, their beloved Kurds may "suddenly" have high-tech weapons, and Gulen may come to the Victory Parade from the Turkish side. Turkish builders can be asked "with things on the way out" and much more that you can think of. Erdogan is ambitious but not dumb. I must understand all this. And I believe that he understands better than you and me.
But there must be an explanation - why is he doing all the lewdness there. It seems to me that at the end of the "Syrian batch" he decided to have time to solve two of his problems:
1. Kurds. A lot has been said about them. I do not see the need to repeat.
2. Bearded "refugees, champions of democracy". He has at least several thousand of these warmed-up "orphans" inside the country. Getting rid of them is problematic. Ideally, send them to war (it doesn't matter whether to Syria or Libya) with a one-way ticket. But they will not go to the obvious slaughter. And they will leave for a small victorious war with the support of the Turkish army. So, by agreement, both our and the Turkish side are imitating the escalation of tension. For the sake of reliability, Turkey sacrifices a certain amount of weapons, armored vehicles and, although it hurts, but its soldiers. Our side creates the appearance of a peremogy for the bearded in certain settlements. To increase morale and attract new winners, who are then successfully mixed with sand with the help of artillery and aircraft. How did it occur to me? And remember the graters with Israel, when our IL was shot down. The tension was much less. So Netanyahu was in Moscow the next day. That was the real preoccupation with the situation. And here, judging by the media reports, war is on the doorstep, but the parties are conducting some kind of telephone negotiations, consultations and "express concern", while diligently avoiding sharp corners. And they are waiting on March 5 to meet. March 5th, Karl! I don’t know how to whom, but it seems to me that in order to prevent the real threat of a big war, we need to move the rolls as quickly as possible. And, as it seems to me, even after March 5, the situation will not change much, because not all bearded men will have time to visit the houris by that time.
Something like that. I do not pretend to the ultimate truth. Time will tell.

Something like a contract match: a pass there, a pass here - and refugees at the gates of Europe.

[Ovrag]

And so it is. Of course, there is a lot that can seem on emotions.
But I'm sure. That the same Putin is easier to "nag" with Erdogan, Syria for two. Erdogan is his own. Understandable. A lot of money has already been cut with him. And they plan to cut it. But all the rest are muddy. Kurds? Give them freedom. So they themselves turn off and also begin to bite off pieces from Iraq and from Iran, and in general they are very much tied to the states. Assad? If we take away all the local sofa chatter, Assad is a problem. Simply because half of the country did not recognize him as. He does not recognize it. You don't need to be a great visionary to understand that Assad, as a person, as a president, and so on. will never be able to unite Syria. There is no longer just a split. And the abyss.
Iran? Iran still dreams of a world Shiite Islamic revolution. With such an "ally" you won't earn money or get peace. Because, as they a priori will climb to Israel, then to the Sunnis remaining in the region.
In the reality. In all this mess - Erdogan, the most understandable and most reliable person in the local circles. With which you can really agree.
I think now the main bargaining is not around Idlib. Idlib is a consequence of Assad's "identity" problem. And the bargaining is for him. Russia still needs it to cover up the legitimacy of its presence in Syria. To Erdogan, he is across the mountain because for Assad Idlib this is such a last chance to write himself as unifying heroes, albeit at the cost of the entire local Turkish-speaking population.
In general, the main bargaining in Moscow. It will not be for Idlib. Not beyond the line of demarcation. And for the fate of Assad. As a person who will / will not be the face of Syria in the coming years.
And here we have to wait and see. Will the King and Sultan converge in price.

Obviously, the "sultan" played too much, but the measure is the ultimate, he cannot pass it on ...
It doesn’t matter how you don’t look here, the frames around him are no better.

[Vladimir_2U]

Well, what nerves the crew should have! With all due respect!

[Bully]

Probably, it’s a shame for the Turks to realize that through their territory (straits, airspace) of the Russian Federation they drag weapons and ammunition into Syria, and this all then flies to the Turks and their wards

[Andrey the Magnificent]

We are peaceful people, but our armored train stands on a siding !!!

[rotmistr60]

The nature of the cargo is not reported.

Strange people reporters. In addition to the nature of the cargo, can it immediately inform the purpose of its delivery with an indication of the performance characteristics? Erdogan did not agree to ban the passage of our aircraft through his airspace, which some hot Turkish heads shouted about. Maybe this will be counted in the upcoming negotiations.

[Andobor]

Yes, - definitely an agreement, - the sultan never "fired" when he gets rid of his stubborn, he also raises his rating.

It is strange of course that through Turkey. I remember once there was an incident, even before 2014, the Turks landed our military plane, who was traveling to Syria with military cargo, and requisitioned the cargo. Then there was a lot of noise, but they did not say how it ended. It seems they returned but not all.

Nothing strange. This is such a sophisticated trolling of the Sultan with a check on his lice.

Moreover, with a powerful curtain of information such as Erdogan’s calls to Washington, harsh statements and bloating in the media.

What trolling, for the flight of Russia, you ask permission from Turkey and without it no one will fly through its territory. And they can refuse calmly, which has already been done more than once.

It all depends on the load and operating / maintenance conditions. Now is not the summer; they will not fly with a special overload either: most likely personnel and equipment. I think that the old carcasses will work fine.
May God grant them all good luck!

At this moment, the An-124 VKS on-board No. 82038 has passed the Sochi traverse and is approaching Turkish airspace. Pass between Sinop and Samsun.

Everything went to the Turkish zone and disappeared from Flytradar.
For fans of the Iron Turkish Sultan Erdogan: look carefully, how many Turkish sides pass over Syria for each day? Turkish Airlines, Pegasus, ...
By the way, in the Krikhan area for a long time circles were cut by an unknown side at the level of 10-11 000 meters ... Is this the Turkish reconnaissance Boeing?

Turkey will not miss, they will fly through the Caspian and Iran, a little longer, but not so critical, I think.
