#4 That seems fast. Is it?

From Russian military journalist Aleksandr Kots on Twitter:

A grouping of more than 70 Il-76 aircraft and five An-124 aircraft is deploying units of the Russian contingent to Kazakhstan around the clock.

#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.
