The term “Black budget aircraft” is normally misunderstood as some special technology platform, what is not actually true. This term means aircraft, what is built or other ways furnished from outside the bookkeeping. Money for those aircraft would be routed from other projects. This kind of aircraft might consist of civilian aircraft, what would not want to track to the air forces. Those aircraft might use in some anti-narcotics operations, or picking up agents from hostile areas.
In the case of CIA, those aircraft might be Russian origin Antonov cargo planes or Ilyushin passenger planes, what mission is to support the missions of special forces and CIA agents in hostile areas. Those aircraft would carry weapons and other equipment for operators, who operate in areas, what are hostile to the United States or NATO. Sometimes those planes might have false national markings, and their missions are almost every times classified, but the same planes can be operated by DEA, what wants to use them in covert operations against drug dealers.
In those operations, the most important role is trusting. And that is the reason, why those aircraft might need to carry drugs sometimes before those men would meet the boss of the gang. When we are talking about weapon trafficking to “friendly forces”, we must notice, that those weapons might be equipped with GPS-systems, what makes them easy to track.Those weapons might deliver to enemy troops on purpose. And when those weapons are in the hands of hostile troops, there might be dropped the GPS-guided bomb in the position, where those troops would stay.
I once read the thought what was written by some commando. The thought was the strike what would do by using enemy cargo-planes. It was that the big cargo aircraft would land in enemy airbase, and then the strike-unit drives from the ramp with Humvees, what are equipped with machine guns and anti-tank weapons. Then they would strike against enemy installations with 50. caliber machine guns and anti-tank missiles. That could cause very bad losses to persons, who are working in that military base. This could be another version if the strikes, what British SAS special forces did in North Africa against Rommel's forces or Israel did to Entebbe in 1976, this strike is also known as "Operation Thunderbolt".
In some scenarios, the very big airplanes like IL-76 can be transformed as the missiles, what would flight to target via remote control. In some scenarios, the tanker aircraft would fill with nitroglycerin. Then they would fly against the target. That kind of devices is very dangerous in wrong hands. In some scenarios, the remotely controlled cargo-plane would be landed to the enemy airbase, and it would be filled with remote-controlled Humvees or other Jeeps, what are equipped with explosives. Then those vehicles would just drive to enemy aircraft line and they could be exploded. The results of this kind of strike could be devastating.
