#3 A flight plan for the IL-76, obtained by researchers in the U.S. and Belgium, shows that after Bangkok the plane was due to make refueling stops in Sri Lanka, the United Arab Emirates and Ukraine before unloading its cargo in Tehran.

Um, why would they fly past Tehran to take on fuel in Ukraine just to reverse course and go back to Tehran? Don't they take Discover in Tehran?

Something more here that we don't know about (go figure)....
