18030.0 Russian Air Force ACTIVITY

19JUN15 18030.0USB 1255UTC Pskov AB (KORSAR) wkg 76719 an Ilyushin IL76 based Taganrog
19JUN15 18030.0USB 1301UTC Pskov AB (KORSAR) clg Orenburg AB (POLIS) and sev others
19JUN15 18030.0USB 1400UTC Pskov wkg 22457 (presumed RA22457, an Alrosa Mirny AL Mil8 helicopter, as I couldn't find any other "22457" serial. This AL operates scheduled AND charter flights, so it is feasible it was chartered to the Russian AF in the same way Atlas Air flights are used to transport USAF troops and equip.) This was a very interesting catch as I also managed to hear the words "raschetnoye pribitiya" which means "ETA" and the time afterwards of 1710.


I am going to try and upload the audio as an AVI ile and show the actual Mil8 helicopter as the background. Never done this before, but wanted you to hear the excellent signal.    

    UPDATE!!!!

Tony, from the blog planesandstuff, has been helping me with my Russian and I wrongly heard the numbers. They should be 52456 (pyat dva chetirye pyat shest). Can't find this serial number on Google, but it isn't the Alrosa Mirny Mil8 helicopter I thought it was. Silly me. This is the problem with working with another language and of assuming you know some of it! ha ha. Never mind, the error has taught me to listen to EVERYTHING many times before thinking I understand it.
