Two Turkish Airbus A400M left territory of Ukraine

Two Turkish Airbus A400M military transport aircraft left the territory of Ukraine.

It is reported by the Kryla media.

The movement of aircraft was recorded on the Flightradar24 service.

After crossing the border of Ukraine, the A400M turned off the transponders.

Both aircraft flew to Ukraine at midnight on February 24, 2022, when the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began. The aircraft carried humanitarian supplies and were supposed to take Turkish citizens.

They took off from Eskişehir Air Base, where the headquarters of Turkey’s 1st Tactical Air Command is stationed.

Due to the closure of the skies, the planes remained at Boryspil airport, and the crew members stayed in the Turkish Embassy in Ukraine.

Back in the summer, Turkish President Recep Erdogan discussed with Volodymyr Zelensky the return of both aircraft, but they left Ukraine only now.
