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.
