FlightRadar24 - high traffic following invasion

[countdowntonap]

Is anyone else monitoring the air traffic on FlightRadar24? There was an 8 minute wait to get on to the website!

Lots of military aircraft.

i can't get on at all

but was watching 2 military planes last night and said to dp this will kick off

I had a look this morning expecting to see a lot of military traffic but there wasn't much at all. Three RAF Hawks and two USAF planes over the UK. Nothing I could see anywhere else.

It's very slow now, but I didn't have to wait to get on.

I had a look. Not one plane over Ukraine !

The only military aircraft I can see now is a tanker just leaving Akrotiri.

military.freedar.uk/VirtualRadar/mobile.html try military freedar if you want to frighten yourself.

I had a look. Not one plane over Ukraine !

At least, not one with its location transponder turned on.

I have the app.
If this is accurate - it’s eerie. No air traffic on radar at all over Ukraine, very few over Russia. Other flights are going around.

Yes - nothing at all over Ukraine. I noticed some United States Air Force nearby though.

Ooo thank you @FlibbertyGiblets
I love websites like that. Lightning maps, storm maps, aircraft maps!

That’s so odd! Nothing over Belarus either…

It’s not letting me look at the top most watched flights, just blank when I look

If this is accurate - it’s eerie. No air traffic on radar

Despite its name Flightradar24 doesn't actually use radar.

who is 'armee de l'air'

French equiv of RAF.

who is 'armee de l'air'

I'd hazard a guess that it is a prominent French speaking country.

Ukraine closed to civilian flights hasnt it & parts of Belarus & Moldova

I've been watching Flightradar24 all day, I think I'm a little bit obsessed!

We had loads off activity above us, RAF tracked them on the app and they just disappeared, I wonder how many have their tracking facility turned off, I can't believe there's nothing above Ukraine.

There's so much we don't know.

Not a single plane over Ukraine. That makes me feel even more uneasy than I already do.

There’s that one, and another. I don’t know what these aircraft are designed for but it appears the Americans want someone close by.

Any activity over NZ? the global elite escaping to their bunkers
