SFS SS100 RA-89040 RSD500 landed at K-Grad (KGD) and is scheduled to return to Moscow later today. RusJet Bombardier Global 6000 RA-73528 also flew from Moscow (VKO) to K-Grad this morning and is scheduled to fly back to Moscow later.
On 30 Oct SFS SS100 RA-89040 RSD500 took off from Moscow (VKO) and is en route to K-Grad (KGD).
I agree that this would be new; however, I am also not a specialist in how this would work. My first thought would be that it could be satellite based, but that could require multiple satellites. Another option could be that someone has hacked FR24 and is manipulating tracks that way. I do not know.
The first one I looked at was at 18.13367 28.50021. All the others appeared to be in the same place. I am wondering if it is a spoofer or a null point used by FR24?
The new spoofer is active again on 29 Oct ‘displaying’ aircraft from RUS, the Middle East, Asia and Africa over the Gulf of Guinea.
On 29 Oct Sanctioned Fars Air Qeshm B747 EP-FAB flew from Tehran IRN to Entebbe UGA. This aircraft also flew to Entebbe on 26 Sep.
United Aircraft tests Il-114-300’s navigation capabilities in mountainous Siberian terrain: www.flightglobal.com/aerospace/un...
This aircraft is the first prototype Il-78M-90A MIDAS tanker aircraft (serial 0201) and made its first flight at Ulyanovsk in Jan 2018. The aircraft had 11 months of improvements and made its fourth test flight in Dec 2018, officially credited as the first under the factory flight test program.
Il-78MD-90A MIDAS tanker RF-78741 returned to Ulyanovsk after a probable test flight. This aircraft has flown using ‘DEFAULT’ on 17 Sep. 21 & 29 Oct (Previous missions were as RFF78741 or 78741). The first flight was about 1 ½ hours; the second about 4 ½ hours and today was approximately 6 ½ hours.
On 29 Oct Il-78MD-90A MIDAS tanker RF-78741 using CS/FCN DEFAULT is again airborne from Ulyanovsk. This is likely some sort of test flight.
I was doing a playback and just noticed this: On 21 Oct Il-78MD-90A MIDAS tanker RF-78741 using CS/FCN DEFAULT was airborne from Ulyanovsk and possibly carried out air-to-air refueling. I have never seen ‘DEFAULT’ used before.
SibNIA is a a research institute participating in aerodynamics, avionics testing, full-scale fatigue testing, thermal strength testing, fatigue and loading spectra, and dynamic strength testing.
On 27 Oct Tu-134AK CRUSTY (RA-)65570 was tracked southbound over northern RUS with a possible flight origin of Rogachevo Airbase on Novaya Zemlya. This aircraft belongs to the Chaplygin Siberian Scientific Research Institute Of Aviation (SibNIA) based in Novosibirsk.
It is even possible its flights around Africa picked up additional weapons to deliver to VEN. Just a thought.
Interesting flights by Aviakon Tsitotrans Il-76TD CANDID RA-78765: On 24 Oct it flew from Moscow to Yerevan ARM later flying to Algiers DZA. On 25 Oct it flew Algiers – Rabat MAR – Dakar SEN -Nouakchott MRT. On 26 Oct it flew from Nouakchott to Caracas VEN.
More spoofed aircraft locations:
There is a new spoofing system: This system ‘grabs’ aircraft and spoof projects them in the Gulf of Guinea for a few seconds. I am wondering if the wide area that this system can cover could mean it is satellite based? I need to keep an eye on this and investigate further.
If the launch took place this aircraft could have returned personnel associated with the launch.
