A Russian Military Plane Has Landed In Venezuela

He was flying a rather confusing route.

Russian Il-76 military transport plane has landed in Venezuela. On the eve of the ruler of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro asked Putin for help.

About it writes "Telegraph" with reference to Defense News. According to the publication, the fact of arrival of the Russian plane in Caracas confirms the flight map. However, the board was headed along a rather confusing route.

The flight is currently seen as Moscow's attempt to expand its military presence in Latin America. The flight map shows that the aircraft, with registration number RA-78765, arrived in Venezuela on October 28. It made a two-day flight from Russia via Armenia, Algeria, Morocco, Senegal and Mauritania to Latin America.

This complicated route may indicate that the aircraft was trying to avoid Western airspace or possible cargo inspections in unfriendly countries. They do not rule out the possibility of additional loading of the plane in other countries.

The Il-76 can carry up to 50 tons of cargo or up to 200 people. It is operated by Aviacon Zitotrans, which is under sanctions by the United States, Canada and Ukraine because of its ties to the Russian military, including repeated deliveries of equipment to the regions where PMC Wagner mercenaries operate.
