The Russian airplane intercepted by Nigerian
authorities Saturday on its way to
neighbouring Chad, was transporting a large
cache of AK47s and bullet proof vests, and
even a helicopter, images of the contents of
the aircraft obtained by PREMIUM TIMES,
have shown.
The Russian jet, labelled AH-124-100, is a
heavy military transport aircraft. Air cargo
experts describe it as one of the biggest serial
and strategic heavy lifters in the world. It is
intended for the transportation of heavy and
oversized cargo and various special-purpose
vehicles.
There is a helicopter inside the aircraft
grounded in Kano. It also contains various
military hardwares Nigerian officials suspect
to be arms, ammunitions and special
equipment.
