The Russian Il-76 plane, which crashed the day before in the Belgorod region of Russia, previously delivered weapons to the airfield in Engels and to Belgorod itself.

This aircraft was spotted at Engels-2 airport, which is used to supply Russian bombers with ammunition. It is with these missiles that Russia fires at Ukrainian cities. Also, this Il-76 supplied the Belgorod region with S300 and S400 missiles for attacks on Kharkov and the region. Representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Andrey Yusov announced this on January 25 during a telethon.
The Russians themselves say that the measures that are used to supply enemy forces and equipment are used at the same time, probably to transport prisoners,” he noted.
Yusov emphasized that the Main Intelligence Directorate assumes some scenarios. A deliberate provocation with the use of Ukrainian prisoners of war, in fact, as human shields for transporting ammunition and weapons for missile systems, is also possible.
Let us remind you that on January 24, a Russian military transport aircraft Il-76 crashed in the Korochansky district of the Belgorod region. The Russian dictatorship said the plane was allegedly carrying 65 captured Ukrainian military personnel, six crew members and three escorts. The Russians accuse Ukraine of selling the plane.
Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets said that Ukraine has not yet seen any signs that there were a large number of prisoners of war on this Il-76 plane, as stated by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
