Bulgaria was a layover, then Syria, and then we arrived in Iran, where we stopped twice.
We took a super S-shaped detour, refueled four times, and it took two and a half days. We used all the resources Andre, Polivich, and Gao Yang could muster. Finally, on the sixtieth hour after departing from Kiev, five An-32s took off from Iran, heading towards Somalia.
They took off at night and had to make a large arc, taking four hours to reach Berbera.
Gao Yang changed into combat gear, prepared the night vision devices, and once they reached the skies above Berbera, they would immediately parachute down and start the attack.
