Radio interception: Egypt has deployed a Russian plane flying to Libya

8

The Egyptian military did not allow the military transport plane of the Russian Aerospace Forces flying from Syria to Libya into the airspace of their country, forcing the Russians to turn back, reports the Telegram channel "Notes of the hunter".

Egypt did not miss the side of the Russian Aerospace Forces to Libya from Syria due to the lack of diplomatic permission. Il-76 with tail number 76731 Latakia (Syria) - El Marge ("Al-Jufra"). Return to departure airport

- indicated in the message.



Having made several circles in international airspace, a Russian plane flew back to the Khmeimim air base in Syria.

This is the first such incident that arose between the Egyptian and Russian military in recent years. As evidence, an audio recording of a radio interception is given, on which you can hear how the Egyptians forbid the Russians to enter airspace.


What caused the Egyptians to do this is not known. It also remained unclear why the Russian plane turned, and did not continue flying, while in international airspace, without entering Egyptian airspace.

We remind you that in May 2020, the Russian IL-76MD already flew from Syrian Latakia to Libyan Benghazi. Then there were no problems with the Egyptians, as evidenced by air monitoring data.


There have not yet been official comments on the incident from the Russian and Egyptian military.

      Apparently, the time has come to carefully explain to the Egyptians who is who in the Middle East. And show who they have there is a real enemy. They don’t understand, to see, without expressing their reaction, how the Turks will wet their eternal neighbors.

      The strange and incomprehensible behavior of the Egyptians, we were always in good relations with them and always found mutual understanding with them. Apparently, there were some reasons for such a de-march !!!

      Simply, our tourists, in their naivety, taught the Egyptians that an affectionate calf of two queens sucks. So they are trying to suck out several udders (what’s the right thing? An udder? An udder? An udder?)

      - Well ... the quality of communication ... - Our plane is literally near the base of Hmeimim; and radio communication is simply nothing ...- at the level of the first half of the last century ... - Interesting - but how did the Egyptians transmit their commands to our pilots ??? - The connection was also the same ... - Yes, they also transmitted in English ...
      - Here I personally, when I wrote about the need for Russia to have Mistral and it is in the Mediterranean ...; then the unreasonable audience just "showered me with minuses" ...
      - Well, so ...- these Mistrals would now be in service with Russia; moreover, on combat duty not far from Syria or near Libya (one there ... another is here); then all of this Mediterranean would be at a glance in Russia ... + plus the whole squadron of reconnaissance and attack helicopters ... on these two Mistrals ...
      - But Egypt did not have time to buy these Mistrals ...- as it had already begun to issue commands to Russian aviation ...
      - Such things ... - Well, I'm joking; of course I say all this in jest ... - But nonetheless ...

        Don’t worry, Irina, soon they will build better than French ones in Kerch.

      What is not clear? Egypt is concentrating an attack force near the border and they do not need spies. Although ...., everything is visible from the satellites.
