πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ I love seeing #CIA-affiliated planes flying into Benghazi, and the American media being absolutely silent. They have been doing this with overt USAF flights, and covert flights, for years. What you find on the news is groomed for public consumption.
Previous OSINT showed The United States Air Force, in the dead of night, flew massive C-17s in and out of rebel-held Benghazi, yes Libya, and it wasn't noticed, or deemed newsworthy to print, or seemingly investigate, by any news organisation.
I used to think it would hard to transport unknown cargo to a Libyan rebel-held airfield on a giant #USAF plane, with all the transponders and paperwork; turns out it's easy, you don't need Air America, nobody is going to print it anyway, so why bother with the expense? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

On 2022-01-17 at 14:36 EST Global News published an article by Alex Boutilier, Mercedes Stephenson, and David Baxter about Canada deploying special forces to Ukraine, and an allegation the troops were sent over around January 9th, 2022.

On 2022-01-17 at 17:00 EST I published original open source research, with all the flight information about the aircraft which flew from Valcartier, with unknown Canadian Forces personnel, to Kyiv, and I included all the primary sources for the data.
Confirming the flight happened increases the possibility Special Forces were deployed to Ukraine to help prepare for an evacuation of personnel.

I'd like to know if any other Canadian news media did their homework before publishing their articles about the same story.

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ How can DFO deem #CCGSHudson not worth repairing? A replacement ship is not in the budget. Canadian ship builders are incapable of building a ship on time, or on budget, so what's the alternative? Lease American ships? πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
It's a gong show.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Let's review all the excruciating minutiae of the Royal Air Force's flights to Ukraine πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦, and potentially imports of more lethal aid from the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ to the United Kingdom.
Follow me down the rabbit hole. 🧡
(very long 🧡, will take breaks)
First, I take an inventory of the 8 RAF C-17s and where they've flown in the past couple of weeks. It takes at least days to organize a shipment like this.

We know the following aircraft have delivered lethal weapons to Ukraine; let's work back from that

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Tonight? Why wait? You get the latest now

Corroborating the report by @alexboutilier @MercedesGlobal @davidbaxter_ , of @globalnews open source flight data confirms the #RCAF flight flew into Kyiv (not Lviv) direct from Valcartier; callsign #CFC4186.

ImageImageImageImage
For the record, it was #RCAF CC-150 15003, which departed on 2022-01-08 (UTC) and returned to #8WingTrenton on 2022-01-11.

This is a great tell that comes up frequently. πŸ‘‡

When watching for any kind of arms shipments, pay close attention to whose airspace is used.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Omni Air Int'l #OAI discrete livery 767 #N423AX #A506DA flew today as #STATE80, a State Dept ( maybe CIA? πŸ€”) callsign into Northern Iraq. This bird flies between hotspots of intrigue; Bulgaria, Malta, Erbil Northern Iraq, Washington DC...

How are these places related? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
#N423AX has the most suspicious pattern of life for an aircraft I can remember.

It ONLY flies regularly+infrequently, to these hotspots:

✠ Sofia, Bulgaria
✠ Malta
✠ Amman, Jordan
✠ Erbil, Iraq
✠ Washington, DC

It doesn't fly anywhere else; hasn't in months, I checked. πŸ•΅οΈ
