The U.S. may be transporting Hezbollah weapons captured by Israel to Ukraine, according to flight tracking data shared on the X platform.
The data posted on the OSINTdefender account showing several U.S. C-17 transport aircraft departing from a NATO base in Germany to the Hatzerim Airbase in southern Israel and subsequently to the Rzeszów Airport in eastern Poland points towards the plan coming to action.
Rzeszów, situated only 100 kilometers from the border with Ukraine, has served as a key transport hub for nearly all military aid supplied to Ukraine by its Western allies.
Further evidence of the possible transfer of weapons came in a post on the Telegram channel on Sunday by Two Majors, a pro-Russia military blogger with 1.2 million followers.
“There are signs that Israel has begun supplying Ukraine with Soviet and Russian-made weapons,” Two Majors wrote, adding pictures of military equipment, which, he claimed, were bound for Ukraine.
The possibility of giving Russian-made weapons, such as anti-tank rocket launchers and other munitions captured from Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon, to the Ukrainian military was proposed during a meeting between top Israeli and Ukrainian diplomats on Tuesday last week.
Some analysts have also speculated that Israel might consider giving Ukraine a U.S.-made Patriot air-defense missile system that has been previously decommissioned by the Israeli military.
Such a move would require an official sign-off from Washington.
No official confirmation of the weapons transfer deal has been issued yet, and Ukraine’s ambassador to Israel, Yevgen Korniychuk, who originally discussed the plan with Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel on Tuesday, remained tight-lipped.
“I do not comment on rumors,” he said, responding to an inquiry about the weapons transfer made by the Israel Hayom newspaper.
Although Israel has sought to maintain a neutral position on the Russia-Ukraine war, the fact that Russian-supplied weapons are in the hands of enemies such as Hezbollah and Iran, and that Moscow enjoys good relationships with Tehran could undermine its neutrality.
