And they say it’s an An-26.

Inforesist is a “pro-Ukrainian” media. Video of the airplane in flight clearly identifies it as an An-30b (caracteristic humpback for cockpit, undernose radar, …) .
Radio communications between the Antonov and its base also clearly show its role.

Just Now

Do you really think so, J.V. ??

I don’t ;
friendly, Etienne

Of course not, that’s why I put the hilarious smiley.
Only a joke following “Maltese” L-39.

Royal Bahamas Defense Force :

King Air 350 :

P68 :

Not completely the same but it has a sort of the Malta cross.

Maltese cross is very particular, with four elements in “V” forms, joined to each other by their bases and, then, is eight-pointed.
Or engineer who wanted to paint the cross of the Ukrainian Air Force did not consult wiki. 🙂

thanks for your POV, J.V. ,

friendly, Etienne

You’re always welcome Etienne.
