As the North Korean military's dispatch to Russia turned out to be true, it was detected that a Russian military plane returned to Moscow after visiting North Korea while the world was watching the repercussions.

According to flight route tracking data on the 25th of local time, an Ilyushin I1 (IL)-96 aircraft operated by a Russian special squadron left the Hwangju Air Force base in North Korea on the night of the 23rd and landed near Moscow, Russia, on the morning of the 24th, the next day, according to the British news agency.

I1-96 is used to load passengers or cargo and can accommodate between 235 and up to 436 people.

Earlier on the 23rd, NK News, a U.S. media outlet specializing in North Korea, reported that an Il-96-300 aircraft operated by a Russian special squadron left Moscow and arrived at Pyongyang International Airport.

The aircraft is known to be used by a Kremlin team accompanying Russian President Vladimir Putin, raising the possibility that a high-level Russian delegation may have visited North Korea.

However, it was not immediately clear whether the two aircraft were identical.

NK News previously reported that the Russian Air Force plane Il-62M landed in Pyongyang on the 17th.

The recent frequent visits by Russian aircraft to North Korea suggest that North Korea could send additional troops to Russia, iNews said.
