Can anyone tell how it's possible he can see the military airplanes on FlightRadar?
Because I have been for evenings online over Syria but I don't see any military on FR24.
When I check the guys twitter account he spots AN-124 and more.. so what am I doing wrong ?

I guess you have to be lucky to look at the right time. I have seen an Il76 on FR24 over Syria by coincidence.

Not military, as it is a Syrianair one, but I wouldn't be in anyway surprised if it is now operating on flights for the military.

Thanks for your reply Erwin,
I'm logged in FR24 and I see a lot of IL-76 ( I count 4 of them as we speak ) over Syria. They make circles and then the dissapear from radar.
I also see huge planes with no call signs leaving Baghdad Airport... personally I think it's American because it avoids all Russian & Serian Aircrafts..

The last couple of days I see a lot of IL-76 and Antonov's take off from Latakia Airbase or planes from the middle of the dessert take off.
First there is a NO CALL SIGN, later you see only the registration and later you see the Call Sign online on FR24.

Noted from a picture online, the Su-25SM "25 Red" has 10365 as the five or last five digits of its construction number. Just for those who are interested.

CJ.

There is very detailed information about Russian ground and naval forces in Syria.

These side only follow air forces, and most spotting refences.
