Two Russian cargo planes just pulled the classic “nothing to see here” move over Iran. They slipped into Iranian airspace, deliberately turned off their transponders, disappeared from public tracking, and then reappeared on the ground in Tehran. When Russia goes ghost mode, it’s never for something mundane like spare parts or humanitarian aid. Today, it looks like high-stakes military business — and the timing is telling.
Open-source flight tracking captured the flights, but the moment they crossed into Iranian airspace, the signals went dark. Defense monitoring accounts on X, shared screenshots of the sudden disappearance, sparking a flurry of speculation.
One post put it bluntly: "When Russia goes ghost mode over Iran, it’s never for something boring like spare parts and hugs." Neither Moscow nor Tehran has commented — standard procedure for these sensitive operations.
While tail numbers are unconfirmed, similar operations often use Ilyushin Il-76 transports — Russia’s heavy-lift workhorse.
