Syria | Assad flees to Moscow as rebels capture Damascus

I’ve seen a fair few planes doing this sort of thing on flight radar in the areas that Russia has been messing with GPS.
Civil and military aircraft are required to have an Identity, fried or foe transponder (IFF). IFF is the aircrafts air traffic control transponder. Civil IFF has 3 modes. Mode A provides basic identity using a 4 digit code. Mode C provides additional speed, heading and altitude and Mode S provides more detailed information such as serviceability status messages. To fly in civil air lanes, aircraft are required to have a minimum of Mode C.

The transponder works by transmitting data from the aircraft in response to an interrogation signal from either the ground or another aircraft. It is possible to mess with the IFF mode C by altering the barometric altimeters pressure setting onboard the aircraft but it's highly dangerous as the aircrafts altimeter would be wildly inaccurate.
 
I believe a lot of them will if it’s safe for them. You’ve allowed yourself to be manipulated. You’re not alone in your hatred but you do come across a bit stupid.
It’s not hatred mate it’s a fact that most will stay here in the comfort of this country and the riches it offers .

Thanks.

It’s certainly been happening to for a while around Ukraine and Cyprus. There were suggestions the DHl plane crash in Lithuania the other week was down to it although I think it got ruled out.

Earlier in the year I watched a Russian plane on flight radar zig zag and rollercoaster up and down across Poland.

No idea what Flight radar uses for its data mind you. Regularly there are loads of planes showing over Crimea when they clearly are not. Usually when Ukraine are attacking.

Civilian radio receivers are mostly used on FR24. Although where there's no coverage it just extrapolates the position of the plane from it's last known. Can even knock up your own https://www.flightradar24.com/build-your-own

It's entirely possible the Russian plane was doing exactly that.

Nah it bounced back to over Russia after a while if I recall. Trying to find screen shots. Lots of places reported it at the time.

It was around the time Russia was messing with flights over Cyprus.

It’s been going on for a while.

 
I'd be after a refund on my tax zloty if there was a russian plane knocking about.

Maybe planefinder has less coverage than FR24 in that area.

In retrospect my memory was off on how the plane flight looked as this one was all at 3500-4500 feet. And was April 23 so longer ago than I thought.

Suggestions at the time were they were spoofing transponder data.

Aircraft use a combination of inertial navigation systems (INS) and GPS or Glonass. It depends which system is feeding the transponder, but in general GPS Spoofing alters the time code and confuses the aircrafts navigation system into thinking it's somewhere it isn't. GPS jamming denies the signal in its entirety. Either way, anyone who does this has a reckless disregard for safety.
