The aircraft is one of three IL-76s carrying Air Koryo markings
that has been based at Sunan Airport.
Around October last year, it was moved to the maintenance area of the airport, and within days, a barrier was erected around it.
Commercial satellite imagery indicates work to apparently convert
an Air Koryo Ilyushin IL-76
into an airborne early warning platform is ongoing at Pyongyang’s main international airport.
