Above 35,000ft we have at least 7 airliners, all broadcasting ADS-B, as commercial air traffic does.
We also have one #USAF E-11A BACN 11-9355 #AE4DE1 c/s #BLKWF13 at 36,000ft broadcasting Mode-S; a military plane, in the middle of the civ air traffic.

🇺🇸 Unknown aircraft using an identifier in the American-allocated ICAO range over #Iraq 🇮🇶 tonight; no idea what it is, all info is blank (incl alt, squawk, etc) and I can't find any historical information about it (other than it was last seen 2020-01-06 & 2020-01-17) #AAD30F 🤔
Given the constant buzz of American ISR assets over Iraq, it's probably just one more, but the rest of them are pretty loud and proud about their identity. Already L3, Textron, and other contractors can be noticed operating over Iraq all night long, every night.
