The flight of Tu-214R MULLET RF-64514 on 25 Jun took it along the RUS-FIN border before the aircraft turned east. It landed at Syktyvkar and was on the ground less than an hour before it returned to Kazan.
On 23 Jun 223rd SFS Tu-154B CARELESS RA-85843 flew from Moscow (CKL) to Khmejmim Airbase SYR departing later as RSD803 and flying to al Khadim LBY. On 25 Jun it departed and flew to Brazzaville COD as RSD7341/RFF7341.
On 25 Jun Rada Airlines Il-62M CLASSIC EW-505TR flew from Minsk to Orsha BLR (picked up cargo?). It took off later and was again spoofed flying over UKR. This has become ubiquitous for Rada Airlines aircraft leaving/returning from/to BLR.
I also suspect that it is becoming more difficult to keep the An-124 CONDOR airworthy and they are being replaced (when possible) by Il-76MD-90A CANDID, especially on flights to Africa.
On 30 Mar, 02, 06 & 10 Apr SFS An-124 CONDOR RA-82040 made four flights from Moscow to Damascus. I thought at the time that they may have brought in/taken out air defense systems. Whatever these flights have been moving it must be big since the VKS is using a CONDOR vice an Il-76 CANDID.
On 18 Jun SFS An-124 CONDOR RA-82037 flew from Moscow to Damascus SYR returning to Moscow later. It was scheduled to make another trip but did not. It instead flew to Ulyanovsk on 19 Jun (maintenance at Aviastar SP?) returning to Moscow on 21 Jun. On 22 Jun it again flew Moscow – Damascus – Moscow.
Flights to Bamako likely support Russia’s combined aviation group and the Afrikanskij Korpus base there. We will likely see this continue regularly. military.africa/2026/05/russia…
On 17 Jun Il-76MD-90A RF-78663 flew from Moscow to Khmejmim Airbase SYR. It departed on 18 Jun as RFF803 and flew to al Khadim LBY. It was next tracked on 20 Jun arriving at Bamako MLI as RFF701. It departed Bamako twice on 21 Jun as RFF701 (possible destination of Niamey BFA) and on 23 Jun flew from al Khadim to Khmejmim Airbase as RFF803 later returning to RUS.
Speaking of An-124 CONDOR: After likely undergoing maintenance at Ulyanovsk from Apr – Jun, on 23 Jun SFS An-124 CONDOR RA-82040 flew from Ulyanovsk to Moscow. On 25 Jun it departed Moscow (VKO) and flew south likely to a location in southern RUS (Mineral’nye Vody or Mozdok?). On 26 Jun it departed as TTF9916 (224thSFS) and flew Delhi IND.
After approximately two hours on the ground Tu-214SR Communications Relay Aircraft RA-64526 RSD929 took off from K-Grad (KGD) and is en route back to Moscow (VKO).
On 25 Jun Tu-214SR Communications Relay Aircraft RA-64526 RSD929 took off from Moscow (VKO) and is en route to K-Grad.
Navigation/test flight by Tu-214R MULLET RF-64514 continues. Interesting that it is now RFF9021/XAV9021 as ‘RFF’ is the ICAO code for the Russian VKS.
Last tracked on 28 May, on 25 Jun Tu-214R MULLET RF-64514 XAV9022 is airborne from Kazan.
The Chief of Staff of Iran's Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni used IRAN06 to fly to Bishkek to attend a recent Shanghai Cooperation Organization meeting and I thought he might now beIRAN06; however, the Iranian Minister of Petroleum Mohsen Paknejad flew to Delhi to on 24 Jun participate in the 11th BRICS Energy Ministers' Meeting. So, IRAN06 might be a ‘floating’ CS/FCN.
On 24 Jun Iranian Government Dassault Falcon 900EX EP-IGC IRAN06 took off from Tehran (THR) and flew to Delhi IND. IRAN06 was used by the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces; however Maj. Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi died on 28 Feb.
@vcdgf555 Thank you. Well spotted as always.
More blatant spoofing: On 23Jun Rada Airlines Il-62M CLASSIC EW-505TR took off from Minsk BLR and is flying south, possibly to the UAE. It was again spoofed flying over UKR (and other countries).
There have been several flights in Jun by MoD ABNCP Il-96-400VVIP (Military Airborne Information Post) RA-96102 using RFF8627X that took off from Moscow, flew north and then returned to Moscow. This could be its own or a new version of ‘The Moscow Test Loop.’
A plethora of flights into Brest BLR on 21 Jun for the 2nd International Forum of the Union State: RA-64533 RSD664, RA-85605 CHD/RFF7336, RA-64531 RSD783, RA-89040 RSD804 Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin.
