In the last week, I have been tracking waves of strange Ural Airways flights heading towards Ukraine. It would appear that these flights are being used to move Russian troops toward Ukraine.

I decided to write about it (including links to evidence).

Since the 28th of September, Ural Airlines have flown 25 flights from Yekaterinburg to close to the Russian border with #Ukraine. Occasionally their destination is Volgograd, an airport Ural doesn't seem to serve.

I believe these flights are moving Russian troops to Ukraine. The pattern is that they are flown by Ural airways, and they always turn ADSB signal off when about 100 or so miles from #Ukraine.

Earlier today I got my smoking gun, as it appears they briefly turned on their tracking while crossing the border.
