While I cannot answer your question, it did make me wonder a related question. Is it possible to spoof plane activity by using drones with fake transponders, OR using sophisticated software, to give the impression of massive plane movements? I would expect that in a time of war, or in the days leading up to war, that our military forces would not simply give up their positions but would spoof fake positions and flight paths.
There is a precedence for this....back in WWII, there was an entire fake US "army" in England, out in the open, with "tanks" and "trucks" that were just inflated balloons so the German air reconnaissance flights would pick up those images and make the Germans believe that it was real. And it worked, apparently.
So any planefags here know if spoofing transponders can do this?
This is exactly the tactical practice SIGINT will deploy. Make the enemy thing they are being attacked from the northern skies, while being actually attacked from land and sea to the South. That is rudimentary ... it will be exponentially more complex than that, but you get the idea. Distraction and surprise, followed by suprise, followed by surprise ... pretty soon the enemy command and control fractures, and then it's CHECKMATE.

I'm not a planefag, but this article seems like a good overview to your questions.

Do you want to play a GAME!
You sir ... are a fucking autist.

Um...maybe we shouldn't be talking about this? No need to let the CCP rat bastards in on this . ?
