Under the new rule, aircraft conducting operations related to homeland security, law enforcement, national defense and intelligence that could be compromised by transmitting real-time aircraft position information are permitted to disable ADS-B transmissions after obtaining proper authorization from the FAA.
So this would explain the multiple jammings in aircraft both in Europe and in CONUS... makes sense. Well, the most we can do is pray and ask God’s help regarding the safety of our servicemen and the success of their missions.
I watched at least 2 come in from Ramstein last night. Andrews, McGuire, and Dover seemed to be the hottest bases to return to last night. I believe 3rd airlift is at Dover and they provide support for Special Forces.
I'm watching it as well.
Looks like all CONUS military traffic are not squawking. It gives me a knot in my gut...
Not to mention the other comment pointing out what looks to be a jamming effort from a C-5 Galaxy. In short, something’s definitely up, for sure.

May stop at Ramstein. C5 base at Dover, Delaware.

Yes, and nothing unusual. Have witnessed the same activity there at the base before.
