Such planes have been repeatedly used for exchanges.

An An-148 plane with the flight number RA-61727 took off from Moscow's Vnukovo airport. The An-148 aircraft was used in the exchange of Viktor But, Konstantin Yaroshenko and Nadezhda Savchenko for Russians, the ‘Agency.News’ writes.

The RA-61727 aircraft of the Rossiya special flight detachment, subordinate to the Russian Presidential Affairs Directorate, took off at 6.11, Flightradar24 data shows.

In December 2022, the RA-61727 aircraft was used in the exchange of Viktor But for Brittney Griner, Radaratlas.com wrote.

The An-148 plane was also used in the exchange of Konstantin Yaroshenko for American student Trevor Reed in April 2022. However, then the plane with the flight number of RA-61712 flew for Yaroshenko.

During the exchange of Savchenko for Yevgeny Yerofeyev and Alexander Alexandrov in 2016, an An-148 of the Rossiya special flight unit with the flight number of RA-61716 was also used.

The RA-61727 and RA-61712 aircraft are considered to be those serving the FSB.

Earlier, the N1 TV channel, CNN's partner in Slovenia, reported that the exchange between Russia, the US, Germany and Belarus could take place in the coming hours.

The Moscow Times' source revealed that Russia could release between 20 and 30 political prisoners and journalists in the exchange.

On July 31, the American Fox News channel reported that Evan Gershkovich, a journalist convicted in Russia, would return to the United States on August 1 as part of a large-scale prisoner exchange.
