2024 Darfur Ilyushin Il-76 shootdown
The aircraft is believed to have been operated by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) on a mission to deliver equipment and medicine to the army-held city of Al-Fashir.Despite this, initial reporting stated that the aircraft involved was an Ilyushin Il-76 registered as EX-76011 with serial number 0013428831 operated by New Way Cargo Airlines on behalf of the United Arab Emirates supplying the RSF.[5] On the crash site were also found document belonging to Viktor Granov, a Russian pilot who owned the airlines Aircargo Services International and Grand Propeller.The RSF troops in Darfur might have been unaware of the flights that were flying over the region at the time, instead they were expecting attacks from the Sudanese Air Force.[10] Initially, RSF commander Ali Rizqallah claimed that they had just shot down an Antonov of the Egyptian Air Force that was carrying weapons or bombing Darfur.
