Five Russian Il-76 military transport aircraft mysteriously landed in Iran!
Iranian journalist Moazin announced on his Telegram channel on August 4, 2025, that the fifth Russian Aerospace Forces Il-76 heavy transport aircraft arrived in Iran. In recent days, five Russian military transport aircraft have successively landed at Iranian airports without media coverage or official statements.
Moazin described these actions by the Russian Air Force as part of the "Shadow Bridge" plan, which marks the transition of the Russia-Iran alliance from a coordination phase to a military positioning phase. Moazin believes that the arrival of the planes is related to the escalation of tensions in the Middle East and the increasing anxiety in Tel Aviv after the ceasefire between Iran and Israel.
The purpose and content of the cargo loaded on the Il-76 transport aircraft remain unknown. Neither Russian nor Iranian official sources have confirmed the information about the flights, which may be related to the supply of military equipment, and Russia may be strengthening its support for Iran amid regional instability.
