8. doesn't work
For starters it's military issue - it might raise a few eyebrows .

The real reason though is: the Russian cargo airlines, the only ones able to transport supplies into the region, have raised their fares to absurd heights - thus the organizations try to buy as much as possible in the pacific area to get as much for their money as possible.
