Been quite a bit of Il-76 movements at FAWK - apparently repatriation of Rooivalks and other equipment from DRC and other goodies from Moz. I have yet to get the Blue/white Il-76 operating from Goma but got these two :

), 9S-PRR is an Ilyushin Il-76TD cargo aircraft that was formerly operated by the Kazakhstan Ministry of Emergency Situations as UP-17604 before being sold to the Democratic Republic of Congo's Air Force in early 2024. How can it be that the DRC can operate one of these, but SAAF has only one C-130 in operation
