The InformNapalm international volunteer community conducted investigation of the social profile of the Russian senior lieutenant Vladimir Nasonov. He is a flight radio officer and the last few years he was involved into the transportation of the ‘secret goods’ from the Russian Federation to the Middle East and to the countries in Africa.

He graduated from the Military University of the Russian Ministry of Defense in 2010, foreign languages faculty, department of Middle Eastern languages.

Archive of his own page of the social network can be found here.
Vladimir Nasonov does military service in the guards aviation military-transport regiment No. 708, in Taganrog city, in the Rostovska oblast. We can assume it taking into account the place where he lives and the code of the mobile operator from his mobile phone number.
The senior lieutenant Vladimir Nasonov is a flight radio officer and until the middle of the year 2014 he flew in a An-124-100 plane.
For comparison reason please check the photo below that shows the workplace of the flight radio officer in a Аn-124-100 plane, this information has been taken from the igor113 blog.
According to the radio communication scheme uploaded in the social network on his own page in 2015, Vladimir used to fly in a Il-76MD plane with registration number RA-76554.
One of the mil-avia blogger’s article “Irak turned back a Il-76 plane to the Mozdok (records)” contains interception of the radio communication of the RA-76554 plane, done on September 26, 2015 (archive). We can assumed that Vladimir Nasonov’s voice was recorded during this radio communication.
The senior lieutenant Vladimir Nasonov also uploaded to his profile photos which pointed at his participation in the supplying of the goods to the Khmeimim airbase in Syria (archive, in October 2015) and to the Iran (archive, in December 2015). The soldier removed the signs of his belonging to the Russian air forces as it is common in the Russian hybrid army. 
Additionally, other interesting places to where Vladimir Nasonov delivered the goods are listed below. Taking into account the names of the countries, we can guess about the nature of theses goods.
