Conflict in Ukraine: military movements & news

[michel N]

If these were for Poland, they would have landed somewhere else. Rszeszow is a civilian airport, and at the moment only used for the Ukraine crisis. Deliveries to the Polish armed forces would most likely be delivered to a military base.

Regarding the lot of Turkey AF A-400 movements to Rzeszów recently you could expect that more drones are delivered to Ukraine.

perhaps yes. Or could it be Poland is an eager new customer?

Pretty much confirmed now. Both Turkey and Ukraine have stated that in the past few days new drones have been delivered through Poland and some (or all?) are already operational. 10 are mentioned.

good to seen these UR reg'd AN-124 heavies are outside Ukr , but not per se mil flights (anyone with deatils, fill in...). This one seems to be near and inbound Contanta NOW 16:28lt : UR-82027, coming from somewhere near Marseille France. edit ADB5095 / Hex: 508015

I checked the whereabouts of the Antonov Airlines An-124 fleet and it appears two of their seven strong fleet could have been at Gostomel:

UR-82007 1/3 from Las Vegas to Washington
UR-82008 1/3 from Brisbane to Colombo
UR-82009 25/1 from Burgas to Gostomel
UR-82027 1/3 from ?? to Constanta think: Marseille Istres
UR-82029 1/3 from ?? to Constanta think: Marseille Istres
UR-82072 25/2 from Linz to Leipzig
UR-82073 no recent sightings so might be at Gostomel for already a while.

I would be surprised if any of the aircraft present at Gostomel has survived last weeks battle (including the much reported An-225 and the equally unique An-22 UR-09307)

Anyway we look at it : The arms race has re-started. And those who think Cold War 2 has started somewhere last weekend, well they're not alone.

ps. Swedish signint a/c are also pretty active.

here are my last observations:

UR-82072 last observed 25feb2022 LOWL (Linz) - EDDP (Leipzig) still at EDDP ??
UR-82007 last observed 02mar2022 as ADB5017 CYYR (Goose Bay) - EDDP (Leipzig)
UR-82029 last observed 02mar2022 as ADB5098 LFMI (Istres) - LRCK (Constanta)
UR-82027 last observed 02mar2022 as ADB5097 departed LFMI (Istres) to (probably) LRCK (Constanta)

lets hope that really many more than those 10 mentioned are delivered to the Ukraine forces. With only 10 you can't win a war. Only to stop that huge colone you will need many more drones .....

Edit, a bit of a mess here, and maybe not related to Ukraine?
IFC2222 CB-8003 was for Bucharest,
IFC2322 CB-8009 not sure as CB-8009 was flightplanned as IFC2222.
IFC2422 CB-8008?
IFC2522 CB-8005 flightplanned Bucharest 13.57z till 15.05z.

It could very well be for picking up fleeing Indian students, for who India formally requested a friendly reception in Hungary.
and of some of which may have ended up in Romania. Almost any other reason is allright with me.
