Question Russians from Equatorial Africa

An Il-86 with a 3C-??? registration arrived unanounced at Washington, Dulles on Monday 16th and promptly ran its left wing into a cargo shed by about 6ft. It also had a UAE flag painted on the side.
Many questions being asked and the return cargo appears to be weapons? It is firmly grounded as well as needing an aileron and a wingtip.
One of those Russian flag of convenience that our UAE friends seem to welcome so readily.
Anyone know any more about this operation?
