Russia has deployed a real military "air bridge" to China

Flight tracking services record the regular flights of heavy transport aircraft An-124 "Ruslan" of Volga-Dnepr to China. Planes do not always include a transponder (a device for detecting a flight by a dispatcher), which complicates their tracking.

In total, we are talking about a dozen flights over the past week.

This activity was also noticed in China - local bloggers post footage of the landing of the Ruslan at Zhengzhou airport. In the comments to the video, it is explained that the plane arrived "to pick up military aid - equipment, body armor, helmets, clothing, etc.".

All this leads Defense Express to the only conclusion: the Russian Federation sends planes for military cargo. And for the one that is extremely necessary right now and cannot wait for it to be delivered by rail.
