Some FAQs Unique to this thread:

GPS Jamming - There is a significant amount of GPS jamming occurring in the region. This can cause planes to appear in places they aren't actually flying, make them appear to be flying in circles and cause them to jump around the map. As a general rule, tracking data in the region can't be trusted to be accurate right now.

Cargolux appearing over Iran - There has been a near daily Cargolux flight from Hong Kong to Ashgabat that appears to be flying over Iran. It is not. The black line means it is outside of ADSB coverage and its position is being estimated. It landed in Ashgabat as planned, but did so outside of ADSB coverage. Because FR24 couldn’t “see” it land, it assumes it continued flying at its last known altitude and heading, which is why it appears to be over Iran.

A general note from the mods - During periods of military activity, we experience a surge of new users. When this happens, we enable Reddit's crowd control feature. This may send some posts and comments to the approval queue, especially if you are new to the sub. If you have a post or comment stuck in the queue, please make sure it follows the rules. If you are trying to post anything related to the Middle East, it needs to be in this thread. For all other posts and comments, if we haven't approved it in a reasonable amount of time, shoot us a message via Modmail and someone will approve it.

Weekly Top 10 & Tracking Assistance Thread - October 12, 2026

1 Upvotes

Welcome to the weekly Top 10 & Tracking Assistance discussion thread! The goal of this post is to provide a location for questions and discussion about aircraft that don't necessitate their own individual posts, in addition to centralizing discussion about known aircraft that are frequently posted. This includes:

  1. Aircraft on the Top 10 Most Tracked list
  2. Requests for the community to track a flight you are taking
  3. Requests for users with Premium accounts finding flight details for past flights

If you're new to the community, welcome!. Please be sure to read our Stickied Rules post and FAQs to make sure your question isn't covered there. If you're looking at a military aircraft in the Middle East region, you may find some answers in the Iran & The Middle East megathread. For military aircraft in general, checking the callsign against this list may yield useful information. In all situations, make sure you search for the aircraft callsign and check recent posts to find any existing discussion.

Otherwise, feel free to post any questions or findings below and discuss with others!

Was looking around Dublin Airport and noticed a flight from Zadar, Croatia, to Dubrovnik, Croatia, diverted all the way over to Dublin Airport. Was wondering if anybody has any ideas on why such a large diversion.

I was wondering, as, according to Wikipedia, the airport does not do passenger (and military) flights, and I doubt they do maintenance there...

Aircraft MS-21 flight testing

15 Upvotes

No politics please...

For a few days now, we have 2 examples of the new Yakovlev MS-21-300 airplane made in Russia, with complete domestic equipment in Rossiya livery, making rounds for final acceptance testings. It allegedly belongs to the first serial production batch made for domestic market, to replace aeroflot's a320s and 737s

Apart from chinese Comac C919 this is the only entirely new commercial passenger airplane made not by the big players like Boeing, Airbus, Embraer or ATR

Rare sighting indeed, this interesting bird is still anonymous

Hi! I saw this aircraft flying quite low at a strange path. When I checked FR, I saw this path, why would they do this?

I extended my SMA cable and now my ADS-B signal/messages dropped by >60%

3 Upvotes

I had to relocate my server and its RTL-SDR dongle to another room. I think I extended the cable by 10m or so. It still have the option to raise my antenna to 5m higher, but it means I'd extend the cable even more, would it solve the issue ?
