This yank is hoping to turn in early and be up as dawn breaks in Eastern Europe. Expecting a busy morning after a relatively quiet day in the air. Now, if my neighbors would cooperate... anyone got a spare Neptune? Todays maps in thread; all are last-leg only. #OSINT#flightpaths
AAR, last leg only. Note flights along the southern Moldova/Romanian border are in an area with limited open-source ads-b reception, so AAR paths in that region tend to obscure.
Cargo/Transports, last leg only. Note flights along the southern Moldova/Romanian border are in an area with limited open-source ads-b reception, so AAR paths in that region tend to obscure.
ISR flights. Does not include FORTE Q-4 drone over black sea, which was present most of the day. Note flights along the southern Moldova/Romanian border are in an area with limited open-source ads-b reception, so paths in that region tend to obscure.

JSLINT "While I was sleeping" version. This will be a detailed thread based on the last 24-hour observable ISR traffic. Here is the master map, broken down in this thread. This is my punishment for actually getting sleep. #OSINT#flightpaths
Before I slept, HOMER21 and BRIO68 were traversing the southern border corridor. HOMER may have been diverted to Constanta around 06:00Z when a Typhoon (likely QFR) sortied into that area. Its ISR 'racetrack' is shortened. As BRIO was already on task, this is unusual.
At some point, RAVEN17, A Dassault Falcon with ECM (jamming) capability availed itself to the southern corridor. It did not show up on FR24, just ads-bx. Speculation: its jamming capacity obscures its actual path, so while ECM is on the ability to triangulate location suffers.
ISR resources. Does not include Lithuanian YANK01, YANK02 (standard paths), BRIO68 (standard southern ISR corridor), the P3 AA33 ISR path, or the P8. Please refer to earlier posts for info. Ads-b reception gaps in SE Romania are primary cause of inaccurate maps.
Transport routes. Of note was the Polish convoy to Latvia. Please refer to earlier posts for info. Ads-b reception gaps in SE Romania are primary cause of inaccurate maps in that region.
