Interesting

Been watching that one as well. There were rumors about Turkey potentially supplying S-400s to Ukraine, but that would be pretty ballsy.
Looks like it is making a beeline to Kyiv. Whatever is on that plane, looks like Ukraine is getting some toys.
Any chance its to evacuate personnel?
I find this more believable and likely than munitions or systems delivery. Maybe to evacuate their embassy staff and maybe citizens.
I think this is the most likely. If it was weapons likely going elsewhere.

Right, the Turkish embassy is in Kyiv.
Yeah if you have noticed most countries offloading weapons have done so in the Western half near Lviv. Latvia yesterday is a good example.

Yep, most of the flights have been to Lviv the last couple of days.

Ah. They sure waited till the last damn minute then.

I will be interested to see if anything happens when the two A-400's leave Ukrainian airspace. Turkey was already pretty much kicked out of the F-35 program when they bought S-400 systems from Russia. They're supposed to get F-16's instead. Will be interesting to see how this plays out on the defense level and NATO if there's some kind of coincidence with Russian activity when they leave.

Landed 27 minutes ago. I can't imagine it'll be on the ground much longer. I also wouldn't be surprised to see it make a B line to some other country like Poland.
Speaking of that...a Citation and a Challenger, both with no flight plan or registration info, hauled ass out of Kyiv a bit ago. One is in Poland and the other in Hungary.
Probably oligarchs that came back last week when Zelensky called them out. If you look at recent flights with those registrations I'd be willing to bet they match up.

Estonia just requested that Ukraine be admitted as a NATO candidate state. Which unless I'm mistaken would result in their eligibility for protection…

I'm not aware of a delay on Article V. It would be tantamount to having NATO declare war on Russia right now. Boy they must be scared out of their minds. No way this passes. I'm betting Estonia will be a bit over 2% GDP on defense for the next few years...

If all the eastern members express support and the western nations don't follow suit then NATO might fall apart on its own. Those guys have got to be terrified that they'd be fed to the bear to benefit of the west if it came to it. No other reason to publicly state support like that. I bet NATO Sec General is pissed.

The Baltic States have been working their ass off to improve their national defenses over the past decade. I worked with them in the mid-2010's. They all spoke nothing but hatred towards the Russians.

A white country possibly getting invaded by another white country.

That dumbass: "white privilege", "racist", "why are blacks and browns not getting attention right now".

These people have been brainwashed to see race in everything. The world has moved on from the BLM sham and people like that are still trying to cling to that 15 minutes.

For those just checking in, there is one RQ-4 (USAF) over eastern Ukraine, one RQ-4 (NATO) with the tracking off last seen over the Black Sea, and we're looking at an RC-135 likely fixing to take off.

TUAF601 is also almost into Ukraine as well. Reddit is losing their collective minds.

I know nothing of FlightRadar's website. But I've got to think it's to pick people up. Something strategic wouldn't be on a public website, right?
It just an amalgamation of the various radar data out there. Unless you're avoiding getting shot down or up to something you're trying to hide, you're not going to turn off your transponder if you're flying through a major flight path. Turkey knows if Russia were to try and shoot them down it would start a whole new level of crap-storm. No reason to disable it, safer to keep it enabled.

Looks like the airspace situation over Ukraine is deteriorating, preparing for possible contact. Several flights have adjusters their course in the western half of Ukrainian airspace to leave it or return to their departure point. This is not good.

I just hope we've given them something to help successfully mitigate Russian air advantage.

There is still a Turkish Air Force A400 on the ground at Kyiv. May be a sporty trip out for those guys.

Imagine the departure lounge at that airport about now..

Back to Turkey. Turkish embassy might have closed its doors.

Seeing an uptick in the retweets of possible contact. Locations include Kalanchak border crossing at Crimea (live feed went out), Mykolaivka (alleged video on Twitter), and Mariupol (smoke seem on a livestream, two videos of possible artillery report).
