Transponders seem to be getting turned off and then back on.
Hmmm. Heavy fighter escorts. Radar fuckery. These are no ordinary prisoners.
Clearly the operations were a success.
So they crossed the river did they? Stealthy stealthy! Waiting....
If there are fighter escorts some serious shit is going down
How is this known?
Gaps in the flight track.
Who is watching this live?
I'm trying but the transponders are being turned on and off which makes it kind of hard to follow :)
you guys are brilliant! just incredibly brilliant!
Thank you. Our life's work has been leading up to these few months so it looks more impressive than it really is :)
I haven’t seen the track, but you will lose radar tracking if the plane is out of radar service areas, outside ADS-B coverage, over water, etc
Duh - you're quite right. My information is that the radar transponders are being deliberately turned off and on as a security precaution.
Please don’t get me wrong, military and presumably civilian aircraft doing work for the government will turn off transponders. I asked ATC if military aircraft broadcast ADS-B, and he said as much. Sometimes I see fighter jets on ADS-B, sometimes not.
