CommentLanded here earlier coming from somewhere in Africa.
The IL76 isn't taking the normal route out. Clearly the crew's been briefed and knows to avoid that area because Turkey's active there. According to reports Turkey's been shelling the area with mortars and "gendarmes" have been active on the ground -- shooting and killing at least one person, a "farmer". It's clear the drones are there to 'help' in this 'effort'.
