Hrrm. Don't know about India. If you'd have watched ADSB Exchange you could have seen 4 Indian Lockheed C-17 Globemasters go from Dehli to Bukarest; Romania.

Interestingly flying westward, avoiding Pakistan, then diagonally through Iran, and then Turkey. At this time 3 of them are still in the air, 2 maybe 45 minutes away over the Black Sea near Istanbul, and the last one over Iran next to Sirjan.

Doesn't look like watching Olympics to me.

edit: I wrongly assumed they'd all have Bukarest as destination because of having almost the same tracks.

The second one touched down in Budapest, Hungary at UTC 14:23.

The third one in Rzeszów–Jasionka Airport, Poland at UTC 14:41.

The fourth one still en route to whereever, passing north of Lake Van, Turkey atm (UTC 14:46)

Still, that's not watching reruns of the Olympics, whatever it is.

Fourth and last one made it to Bukarest, Romania again at UTC 16:20, while the first one just entered northern Iran on its way back home.

They may not be the only ones, could be they did that in the last days also, but I didn't focus on them because they weren't lined up like today. Can't say for sure.
