An Antonov An-124 aircraft, registration UR-82072, from Dallas landed in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, delivering U.S. heavy equipment possibly including air defenses, according to an X post by @MenchOsint published within the past 29 minutes during the reporting window from 7:45 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. UTC on Dec. 25, 2025. The same X post reported a C-130J aircraft, registration N96MG and owned by Pallas Aviation, heading to Trinidad and Tobago. @MenchOsint noted this aircraft is often seen in conflict zones where the U.S. has interests, including Ukraine, Africa, and West Asia. These deliveries occur amid ongoing military activities in the Caribbean region, including a Curaçao Flight Information Region NOTAM warning of tactical rerouting due to military operations from Dec. 24, 2025, to Feb. 19, 2026, as cited in prior X posts by @HHunternight, and the return of the Dutch Navy supply ship Zr.Ms. Den Helder to the Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao area on Dec. 25.
