Evidence

Quotes

Il-22M (RA-75910) flying from Chkalovsky to Kaliningrad region. This one is a C2/relay/broadcast platform.

As it gets closer to Kaliningrad, it flies parallel to NATO/EU border. Messaging - 'we are here, come and get us if you like'.

It flies a racetrack pattern, staying carefully on the RU side of the border.
