Some would say that it is suicide to continue on the current trajectory.


Because it’s a slap in the face against their own sovereignty and right to align themselves with whoever they wish.

Abs they also had well proven by now security concerns.


Australia has already said that they are not going to send troops.

The US aint going to send troops, the EU aint going to send troops.

Maybe you and Chuck Norris can go instead.

It says US Air Force on the forward section of the fuselage. It shows as coming from the UK when I first posted it and now on a steady left turn pattern pattern close to Ukraine’s border. I do not have access to the site right now.


It’s an E3-A AWACS aircraft. It’s not a tanker.


Oh for fuck sake, :lol: both aircrafts call signs LAGR224 & LAGR225 are air tankers and not AWACS. Do you not see the refueling boom under the tail of the aircraft?

Here are more infos:

Australia is considering sending RAAF transports to supply arms to Ukraine.

What the logistics are I don’t know but I presume they will be going through Turkey and their might be some Aussie activity at the SBAs as well. But probably Turkey

That’s the one I’m looking at.


Yes, that is AWACS, but it is not the aircraft with the call signs I post. :wink:

That is what it is really about for the west

Fighting Russia to the very last Ukrainian.

Not a good idea....

By lunchtime tomorrow Russia will have rounded up the entire Ukrainian parliament and be setting up a tribunal for judgment, and you expect them to be doing deals with Australia? :lol:

Why do you think they are encircling Kiev?

I didn’t check any call signs. I just looked for sone activity and that is clearly the closest activity to Ukraine itself.

There would be much more than that as well as most of the aircraft will not be on ADSB - they will be dark.

The only reason why this one wouldn’t be dark is for the psychological benefit of the Russian population.

It’s every citizens obligation to fight for their country. I expect nothing less from any proud country and people.

The same thing should have happened in Cyprus too. No one should have left the occupied areas and every fit person should have armed themselves.

Yes Ukrainians will die but it’s their obligation to ensure that the flow of coffins back to Russia is massive.

If the US was invaded by Cuba, I as a VISA holder have an obligation to the US as I would have an obligation to Australia.

You should never adopt a country of you are not willing to fight for them and abide by their laws and ways. End of.

LAGR225 is still flying the pattern with LAGR226 heading towards the pattern also. Looks like LAGR224 has left the scene, most probably heading back to base in the UK.

I have just now spotted LAGR132 on another flight holding pattern just north-west of the above pattern, with LAGR133 heading towards LAGR132. It must be “changing of the guards” or return to fill up again.
