New Russian military planes arrived in the Central African Republic over the weekend. With these three aircraft, Russia will have delivered a total of six Albatrosses.

A first aircraft had made a demonstration flight over Bangui at the end of November. "Diamond/Gold/Wood equals fighter aircraft, equals security, equal stability," writes the president of the Republican Front of Central Africa (RACCA), Héritier Doneng. The RACCA says it is working with the Russian government to ensure the safety of its citizens.
