    Yes, I'd guess they are securing assets out of Russian reach. Those for are two ANTONOV An-26's and two ANTONOV An-32 Sutlej (water bombers).

    Their MODE-S transponders appeared to be hidden until they were over the Polish border. Godspeed to them.

    I was tracking a Russian military aircraft earlier which looked like it was heading to the Belarus capital but reports(on twitter) are coming in that one was shot down within the hour around Kyiv. I wonder if it was the same one?

    There is currently a USAF UH-60 callsign DUKE48 north of LVIV routing east like its coming out of Ukrainian airspace. Interesting to know what that was at.


    Correction, it's flying just inside the border of Poland

    Interesting one coming out of France now.

    https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=3b9bd3

    It's an older lady - an ATLA BREGUET Atlantic which departed from the naval Base Aeronauticque in Lorient and looks to be heading for a Mediterranean deployment. It's a 1965 sting-tail reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare platform with a big glass viewing window in the nose-cone.

    Try that flight without a reclining seat and bright-yellow head-rests. You'd need sedation on arrival at your 'far from destination' airport.

    NATO's AWACS drawing circles and 8's near Ukrainian border:

    Suddenly appeared that Aeroflot's flight to Paris cannot really get there:

    Unfortunately, the AN225 was completely destroyed in an attack. Sad to see the end of an era and goodbye to the largest aircraft.

    Yes indeed. That placement of the E-3 Sentry appears to have been strategic as there are almost continuous flights into Rzeszow civilian airport of C-17 Globemasters and other heavy-lifts from Germany, Turkey and the UK. Rzeszow is only 99.7km to the Ukranian border, & 726km to Kiev. Even at the moment there is a German AIRBUS A-400M which stopped off in Slovenia (also an NATO member) lining up to land at Rzeszow.

    Good catch with the Aeroflot to Paris.

    SU7236 Aeroflot to Verona was on hold over Greece/Turkey due to being refused entry. Looks to be going somewhere else now.


    Surely the plane knew before it took off that it would be refused.

    2 Air Canadas DEL->DUB currently over Turkey. Is this to avoid Russia?

    Yes, but they will try and see if one can be slipped in in error.

    This would be a propaganda coup if they could achieve it.

    Looks like its a fuel issue

    YVR to DEL is an up and over the pole flight so if you can't go through Russia, you got to go south through Turkey and you won't have enough gas to make it home even on a 787

    Dublin is probably a lot more flexible than say LHR/CDG/FRA about accommodating this kind of flight, possibly need a crew change as well as its two 8 hour legs

    Russian plane from Moscow to Bratislava early in the morning. Due to depart from there tomorrow.

    Would love to know the terms under which that flight path was allowed? Watched a commercial aircraft yesterday coming from Moscow heading for Verona getting turned around off the Greek coast and after a couple of different holding patterns landed at Istanbul.

    They could possibly be using ground penetrating radar which works anytime of the day maybe they are doing it now because it is a clear night and at least here in Mayo it's relatively calm weather.

    Agreed on the seat and headrests - but hard disagree old trope about "far from destination".

    I'm taking FR to Beauvais in a few weeks because it's far more convenient to where I need to be than either CDG or ORY. It's also a quarter of the price. As ever, just my €19.99 plus taxes and charges.....

    I develop Superior Solitaire when I'm not procrastinating on boards.ie.

    Heres a random Boeing 777-2U8(ER) just arrived into Rzeszow on the Ukranian border from Shannon. From random forums, the only operator of this plane type is Omni air who from time to time do runs for the US military .

    https://www.flightradar24.com/B772/2afdfb13

    Now.... if this is an extra range aircraft with 15,000 km range or more, why do they stop at Shannon ? California to Rzeszow is <10,000km. Is it a glorified pish stop, more for the benefit of the humans on board than a necessity because of lack of range of the airplane?

    It left Shannon just after 6 this morning.

    The Shannon stops are mainly for crew changes.
