According to the tracking service of air travel, the board, shot down on January 24 in the Belgorod region, flew over Saudi Arabia and Iran. The data of Flightradar's public tracking service shows that the Russian Il-76 Russian aircraft, which was shot down in the Belgorod region, began to be recorded at 0:31 UTC on Wednesday, January 24, near Syria. At the same time, the Russian board went to the Russian Federation through the airspace of Saudi Arabia and Iran.

IL-76 is a standard transport aircraft and is usually quite reliable, experts certify. According to the initial data, according to them, the aircraft flew to the north, not to the Ukrainian border. The adviser to the chairman of the Presidential Office Mikhail Podolyak commented on the news of the fall of the IL-76 aircraft in the Belgorod region, where, according to the Russians, the Ukrainian was "Ukrainian prisoners of war". "The comments will be a little later.

It takes time to clarify all the data," Podolyak said Reuters. However, after analysis of the first photos from the place of falling IL-76, the military observer of the Information Resistance group writes about the absence of signs of scattered bodies. The same opinion is a special expert on Russian US troops in Europe, Mark Woeger, who believes that the fallen plane is an expensive model that is usually used by Russian air defense.

According to him, to transport prisoners of war is like "flying to a grocery store on a helicopter. " In addition, information about the event in the Belgorod region is published fragmentarily and selectively. We will remind that the governor of Belgorod region Vyacheslav Gladkov reported on Wednesday, January 24, in the morning that in the Korochany district of the region crashed a military-transport aircraft of the VSSS of the Russian Federation.
