Has anyone been watching Flightradar today?

[KenAdams]

The repositioning of military aircraft around the globe from various different countries has been interesting to say the least. Either something is brewing or we're just flexing our muscles but there is a lot of activity happening at the moment.

And very visibly so. Military planes showing their locations on Flightradar depends on them having transponders on, I believe. I think they can also request they aren't visible. So them being visible is intentional. And sometimes with some funky names!

It seems like obvious muscle flexing to me, which means that it can’t possibly be that as it’s too obvious.

No but I did think of looking is there anything in particular you've noticed OP?

Filter by military. Lots of shows of strength and lots of tankers (the aircraft they're fueling won't show on radar).
