00:07.
00:25Something big is happening between Russia and Iran,
00:29and it's happening in the sky.
00:31Over just three days,
00:33at least three massive Russian cargo planes
00:36quietly flew from southern Russia straight into Iran.
00:40No announcements, no press conferences,
00:43just heavy military transport aircraft landing near Tehran.
00:47So what's on board?
00:49Flight trackers picked up multiple Russian IL-76TB heavy transport aircraft
00:56flying from Mineralnye Vodi to Karaj, a city just west of Tehran.
01:01This isn't a random civilian route.
01:04Karaj's Payam airport sits close to key Iranian military and defense facilities.
01:10And the aircraft being used?
01:11The IL-76TD isn't your typical cargo jet.
01:16It's built to carry tanks, helicopters, and heavy military equipment.
01:20And here's where it gets interesting.
01:23This exact method was used before.
01:26In late 2025 and early 2026,
01:29Iran received several Mi-28NE attack helicopters,
01:34the export version of Russia's fearsome Mi-28 Nighthunter.
01:38They didn't arrive by sea.
01:40They didn't arrive publicly.
01:42They arrived aboard the same type of aircraft.
01:45Soon after similar flights were tracked, images surfaced from Tehran showing Mi-28NE helicopters in Iranian camouflage,
01:55assembling and conducting test flights.
01:57That delivery changed Iran's attack helicopter capabilities overnight.
02:02Now the flights have resumed.
02:04Three flights in three days.
02:06That's not routine logistics.
02:08That's tempo.
02:09Analysts believe these aircraft could be carrying additional Mi-28NE attack helicopters, spare parts and weapons systems,
02:18or entirely new strike platforms.
02:21Given the pattern, the assumption is clear.
02:24Russia is intensifying military deliveries to Iran.
02:28This isn't happening in isolation.
02:31Iran has been supplying Russia with drones and missile technology.
02:34Russia, in return, appears to be upgrading Iran's air power.
02:39Neither Moscow nor Tehran are confirming anything.
02:42But the flight paths don't lie.
02:44And when heavy military transports start flying this frequently between two sanctioned powers,
02:51it usually means something significant is moving.
02:54Not just Russia, China is also secretly arming Iran.
02:58Recent reports suggested that Iran may have received China's YLC-8B-3 3D long-range surveillance radar,
03:08a system designed specifically to detect stealth aircraft, like the F-35 or B-2, as well as ballistic missiles.
03:16Social media, OSINT accounts, and pro-Iran channels have amplified the story, calling the radar game-changing for Iran's air
03:25defenses.
03:26Some articles connect deployment to post-conflict upgrades after Iran's reported 12-day war with Israel in late 2025.
