| If Charles de Gaulle turns off AIS, how does North Korea find it? |

| Track not the ship itself but the planes that take off and land on it. Many sites will expose their paths, you'll see the planes circling in a pattern around "some void" - that's the ship. |

| ▲ | vntok 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | You can find yesterday's location easily on flightradar24.com. Try it it will make you feel like an ossint sleuth or something. Look to the south of Cyprus. Now that's not realtime because I'm telling you after the fact. But if you were paid to do it, of course, then you'd spend some money on an actual account on this and similar services, which would get you many more filters and much more precise data. |

| ▲ | cwillu 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | If de Gaulle is turning off AIS, it stands to reason that it's also turning off the transponders in the air wing. | | |
| ▲ | crote 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | The US tried this with their Venezuela raid. It resulted in a tanker almost hitting a passenger plane twice in two days. [0] Turning off AIS while allowing civilian traffic is incredibly risky, and creating a huge no-fly zone in the Med is politically tricky.

| ▲ | vntok 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Not at all, depends on the mission. In fact you can spot yesterday's location of the ship right now on flightradar. It was patrolling ~100km below Cyprus's main southern city. Move the timeline to yesterday, find a non-Boeing military plane in that zone, enable flight traces and keep trying planes until you see an ovoidal pattern circling around "nothing"... but that nothingness moves over time.m; that's the ship. | | | |
| ▲ | kjkjadksj 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Maybe, maybe not. When the US did their venezuela maduro operation they turned on adsb on f15e for whatever reason. And only turned it on for like a portion of the mission so maybe that wasn’t intentional. |
