On 06 Jul RUS Government Il-96 CAMBER RA-96019 RSD838 (most likely Russian Foreign Minister Sergej Lavrov) departed Moscow VKO and is en route to New York USA via the long ‘Northern Route.’

Tu-214SR Communications Relay Aircraft RA-64526 RSD838 arrived at Moscow (VKO) (after a short timing leg) from Wonsan Kalma Airport PRK. Let’s see what ‘pops up’ in the media regarding who is on board. Tracking dropped shy of the airport which could suggest a VIP.

So it appears that Sergej Lavrov was not on Il-96 CAMBER RA-96019 RSD838 that flew to the USA, but instead was on SFS Il-96 CAMBER RA-96023 RSD308 that flew to Addis Ababa ETH on 06 Jul. mid.ru/en/foreign_p...
