#5  It took five IL-76 aircraft to transport of Belorusian contingent of a single airborne rifle company.

Armenians are being trucked in, as are the Kyrgyzstan contingent.

If Russia's specially trained peacekeeping brigade goes in, it likely will be railed in, as will any elements of the Russian 77th Separate Naval Infantry Brigade from Kaspiysk, on the Caspian Sea.

Recall that Russia also has a peacekeeping contingent in Armenia.
