B52 over Sweden right now.

Two of them in close formation doing laps over Sweeden (ZEUS52 and ZEUS51).

There is a plane belonging to the sweedish airforce off the coast of poland doing laps. (SVF622)

There's a flight looping around Ukraine '633817' on FlightRadar, at 55,000ft, 'invalid transponder' - what's that likely to be?

A drone by the US. It launched from the same location that FORTE11 and 12 launched from.

Edit: Forte11 and 12 are this plane i think

Yeah it'll most likely be the RQ-4.

Dunno, Ukraine could do with bringing Shevchenko out of retirement if they want to win though.

Someone mentioned previously that there are requirements to join that Ukraine needs to meet first.

Edit: MMF99 is a Nato tanker plane. Could be worth watching

I've just put on "Big Jet TV" on YouTube - looks nuts!

Because NATO isn't about to let a country that's in an active war join

I see Putin has taken his play from this tactical masterpiece:

 

[dowie]

Presumably, it could happen this weekend then I guess? Winter Olympics due to end, Putin doesn't want to upset Xi, at least it seems like they're trying to ramp up the excuses for an invasion.

 

[Enkore]

The occupied territories are evacuating its civilians to Russia. That is a very interesting one quite frankly. What are they planning? Best case scenario for Putin would be if he can lure Ukranian army into Donetsk and Lugansk. Perhaps he's got private battalions in Ukraine on payroll. Would be hard to call it false flag operation if Ukranian army literally invades the self proclaimed republics.

 

[chrismscotland]

It feels more likely that something's going to happen now; it felt earlier in the week like the Russians would pull back but the last day or so seems to be an effort to escalate
