The Typhoon thought to be #ZK353, that broadcasts Mode-S #43C77C, is one of the two fighters that were mentioned, but I'll need to wrap this into a blog post, it's arguably too complicated to show their operations compared to the press release via thread.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Considering the sources who suggested the Russians or Syrians were jamming #RAF A400 GPS, it probably shouldn't have been published; but the British press have a lot of tabloid clickbait trash, so here we are. There is no sign this is any different than the past several yrs.
πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Sowing this sort of truism would be the sort of thing a propaganda campaign would do, and coincidentally members of the British military have bragged about their capacity, and willingness, to manipulate the press when it suits their narrative before.
I'm not sure this story comes from "journalism". No dates, times, specific flights, or specific planes were identified, and none of the info shows sign of being fact-checked with any external sources. There are open sources which can verify the RAF narrative, but nobody bothered.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ The NYT sticks with the party line, doesn't want to investigate; anonymous officials admit the United States military has cyber-attacked and penetrated Russian unclass and highly classified networks previously, installed peristant malware, and maintain C2 with said malware. 😬
🧐

"β€œEarly warning” sensors placed by Cyber Command and the National Security Agency deep inside foreign networks to detect brewing attacks clearly failed. There is also no indication yet that any human intelligence alerted the United States to the hacking." -U.S. Gov't Official
- Intelligence operations are highly classified. If we are to believe the U.S. gov't was actually surprised by the SolarWinds hack, and didn't see it coming with their "sensors", those sensors would have been installed in multiple highly classified Russian intelligence networks.

πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Is this wishful thinking?
Seems to have been circulating before that, I've been hearing about it for at least a day.
Huh.

If the POTUS is on a plane it *is* Air Force One.

There is nothing secret about the Boeing 747s that are commonly referred to as "Air Force One" (planeS, there are two!), we track them all the time, and the links are available on Twitter for you to follow along too. πŸ‘‡

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ I've heard riffs on "when the planes are not in for repairs, which is often." in #cndpoli news before, but I've never seen any data to substantiate, or gov't reports which identify, higher than normal maintenance for the #RCAF CC-150 Polaris fleet.

Is there evidence?

Well,
Data exists that can be used to substantiate, or refute, the claim, using open source flight history. For my part, I can tell you the planes are in the air very regularly, and there is no sign of them being sidelined for unscheduled extended periods. (except the "mishap"; 15001)
What's that? You want to see it for yourself? Well, okay.

Check the below embeded link daily for a few years and get back to me.
