We have overflight rights in Russia right now for those supplies. They said “Polar Route” which means we get to fly over Russian airspace and Kazakh airspace to get to Kyrgyzstan, instead of flying from SE Europe, over South Russia and the Caspian.

This also means that Russia is content with allowing us to keep the Kyrgyz base.

The Federal Aviation Administration specifically defines the North Polar area of operations as the area lying north of 78 deg north latitude which is entirely north of Alaska and most of Siberia
