I am trying to find some info on the 2 IL-76TDs I saw at Manas International in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. I was able to catch the registration of one of them, it was RDPL-34163
however, the 2nd one i couldnt get a good angle on as we taxiied out
it looks to have the same livery, which looks very close to a normal soviet livery.
the other thing i dont understand is the registration of RDPL-XXXXX. What is the origin of the RDPL part of the registration? is it something to do with military?
thanks for any help
