Russians transport missiles from Belarus to Donbas – Belarusian Hajun
Investigators of the Belarusian Hajun initiative have reported that over the past 2 days, 8 arrivals of Russian Il-76s cargo aircraft occurred in Machulishchy airfield; these were exporting missiles to S-300 and S-400 surface-to-air missile launchers from Belarus.

Details: According to investigators, on 11 November, the planes stayed at the airfield for 3.5-4.5 hours, which is long enough for unloading. On 12 November, they stayed for generally 5.5-6.5 hours.
The Belarusian Hajun staff believes that there are three possible reasons why these cargo planes fly to Belarus:
- delivery of new missiles and/or ammunition to the Republic of Belarus;
- export of missiles and/or ammunition from Belarus to the Russian Federation;
- simultaneous import and export of various types of weaponry.
They explain why the second version is correct.
Quote: "First of all, it is a long time spent at the airfield.
Secondly, and this is more significant, on 9 and 10 November, just before the start of Il-76 arrivals, 16 trawls with containers for missiles under the S-300/400 air defence system (4 missile containers on each) were recorded in the direction of the Machulishchy airfield, [which totals] at least 64 missiles.
As for the first and the third versions, there is no confirmation yet. The export of missiles or anything else from the territory of the airfield, after possible unloading from the Il-76, was not recorded. That is, the most unrealistic version so far is "just delivering missiles to the Republic of Belarus", and there is still not enough data to confirm the version with the simultaneous import and export of various weapons.
So, if our assumption is confirmed, then the missiles are being transported to the Rostov region, the Russian Federation. That is to supply missiles to the grouping in the Luhansk and Donetsk directions."
