At the bus station in Ryazan a man put himself on fire refusing to go to war in Ukraine
Here you go. Just turn your volume down. Click on the airport or control centre of your choice. You can then stream the live atc source. They may suddenly begin to transmit, so watch your ears!
Airspace is normally divided into High Altitude, Low Altitude, Control ( which is an overall Polish Control), then pertaining to each airport, you have Ground, Approach and Clearance. Some of these Control sections share the same frequencies, especially in smaller airports.
Western military know exactly where Putin is at all times.
Question is if Putin escalated would he be out of reach in a bunker at the time.
And before the but there could be worse than Putler to take over. I'm sure the same type of intellect was mused over of making Hitler a target in WW2.
World and Germany still breathed a sigh of relief when he did the deed and killed himself.
Are these actually your views or those of your ‘papa’…😀😀
Satellite communications and morse codes did not have end points in normal people's homes. Ham radio likewise. Given I experienced these era's personally, that charge is false. I did not spend the 70's worried WW3 would start the following day. One read about US Russian one-upmanship and recognised it for what it was.
Perhaps our differing recollections reflect our living in different places.
He still won't give it up, I bet.
Unfortunately nothing new with either,
Both have been flying over the same locations for the last 7 months
@greenpilot where would one find some live atc stations?
I think Kyiv. Maximum horror and chance of killing Zelensky. The US might initially respond to that conventionally but it will inevitably lead to WW3 as Russia will respond to that non nuclear response with nukes when the US and NATO destroy their entire military in Ukraine.
There is no 'off-ramp' with Putin. The best face saving the Russians could hope for is to remove Putin and blame it all on him and de-escalate and get out of Ukraine apportioning the blame to Putin and his massive ego-fueled mistake, and play a 'this was not Russias doing' angle.
I saw on flight radar a Qatar Air Force plane took off from Leeds and was flying around north east England too. Thought it was weird.
Italian Air Force now in same area
The ole days when Russia propaganda was reporting of a HIMAR on the second floor of a multi storey car park.
Gatling, I say this with respect and affection: China's lack of denial on the absurd rumours that Xi Jinping is under hours arrest is in no way evidence that he is. That's just not a logical argument. China just doesn't work that way, releasing a statement every time someone on Twitter has a brain fart. It really does't help your overall credibility - and I think you're been a significantly important contributor on this thread - to keep claiming otherwise. All the reports of it have come from dodgy Indian sources, and if you do need "proof of life", the People's Daily today published this:
BEIJING, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping has written a foreword, titled "Forging Ahead on the Journey to National Rejuvenation," for works of literature collected in the Revitalization Library, which will soon be published.
In the foreword, Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, emphasized the necessity to draw on the lessons of history, reflect on the past, look to the future, and press forward on the journey to national rejuvenation.
There's no way in hell that the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party would be publishing such articles about him if he was under house arrest.
Plus all their articles about the National Congress meeting next month put him front and centre.
It is firmly believed that under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core and through the concerted efforts of all the delegates, the 20th CPC National Congress will be a congress of unity, victory and endeavor, reads the editorial.
I don't know, maybe knock this one on the head?
3rd time this has been posted. You are about 14 hours late.
I would alway be disbelieving of someone who says 'to be honest' or similar like 'I'm not bluffing' , you have to question are they usually dishonest or bluffers, are doing that again?
Any power that seriously threatens nuclear attack leaves itself open to a massive disabling 'first strike' leaving the country devestated and their response much weaker and uncordinated. I'm sure a few specific missiles would target all of Putin's personal living quarters too.
Russiia has lost this and they need to find a way out.
How and where will Russia strike first in they did cross that line??
Your post reminds me of that urban myth T-shirt of John Lennons last words:
"That's not a real gun"
But seriously, to those who follow aviation over a number of years, what occurring right now is a pretty big deal. Observing and reporting on aviation movements does not presume that those interested in such things are "Baying for WW3".
Well no it wasn't newspaper than mobile phone, before mobile phones we had satellite communication, Ham Radio and even Morse code if you want to go back that far.
But the charge was people were more tense back pre instant 4k live video.
Having lived through both eras, IMO that is not true.
I'd say it more to get visibility if the Russians are going to mass the extra manpower somewhere new to open up a new point of pressure on Ukraine.
It's also useful to remind Putin that every piece of Russian kit and every Russia troop in the occupied territories of Ukraine are "touchable".

Amongst other things, I think that would put Russian targets, on Russian soil firmly in the sights of Ukrainian military planners, something that they have so far avoided in any meaningful way.
Have any of these troops been in combat? No.
There's a reason for that.
Some people are just baying for WW3 to start I suppose, I don't read too much into NATO airforce manoeuvres/operations. Announced or otherwise. Just NATO showing Russia that it can muscle up a lot of airpower in a very short timeframe. Could be in response to the school shooting warning Russia not to use any excuse to do anything major. I really don't see a great deal to it.
Tbh it demonstrates that Russia cannot safely locate any military assets in occupied Ukrainian territory. That alone says all you need know about the trajectory of this war.
I just hope this is NATO flexing its muscle but it does feel like stepping things up a notch.
The bottom one is just a drone. Look at the airspeed.
JAKE11 currently doing loops of Kaliningrad having trekked back and over along the Estonian Russian border earlier. No doubt casting a long eye in towards St Petersberg.
FORTE10 sitting in the Black Sea for the past 8 hours.
Fascinating to watch the manoeuvring that transponders allow us see.
But I agree EOQTRL, it does have an ominous feel to it.
If true shows how good the Intel the Ukrainians are getting and how pants on head stupid the Russians are.
Looks like Twitter has responded to Chinese pressure and has deleted Jennifer Zeng's account. She broke the story alleging that Xi Jinping had been arrested.
No wonder: https://www.indiatoday.in/news-analysis/story/someone-out-there-doesnt-like-twitter-accounts-critical-of-china-1720221-2020-09-09
I think NATO has decided to move the chess pieces. Notice that:
1. Air-refuelling asset operations have increased exponentially. Which means they are supporting an equal amount of fighter jets who have their transponders off. You can equate the position of a KC-135 to a flight of fighters or other similar assets.
2. AWAC flights and SIGNIT flights, all with transponders active, have increased, and is a clear sign to Putin, especially after Bidens remarks, that all eyes are on Russia's movements and that NATO means business.
3. There is an increase in Dutch, German and British Airbus A320 series aircraft. Equate this to mean troop and cargo movements.
It's all designed to speak a certain language to Putin. The language of "we're ready".
My thoughts.
Oddly enough, I think this sort of action helps to mitigate; NATO can't sit on its hands while the Russians **** around.
They need to know that the first sniff NATO gets of any WMD movement, they are going to get lit up like a Christmas tree.
