The air bridge involved the backbone of the Polish
transport aviation: CASA C295M and C-130E Hercules.
The Polish Air Force has
completed the evacuation of Ukrainians with Polish descent living in eastern
Ukraine and extracted them to refugee camps in Poland on Jan. 13.
The operation was conducted by C-130E
Hercules and C295M cargo planes which flew to Kharkiv to board 178 persons
belonging to a large ethnic minority in Ukraine which is set apart from the
main body of population.
The
operation, consisting of five flights and coordinate with the Ukrainian
authorities, was kept confidential until its completion, even though, as
highlighted by the Polish Dziennik Zbrojny website, C-130 aircraft flying to
Ukraine could be tracked on Flightradar24.com website on Jan. 13., at. 12.00
CET.
