@timkmak that's kinda misleading
The jagged lines are usually the result of multilateration and not fake gps positions, you can dig in to specific examples to confirm
(source: me, a ground station receiver operator and data feeder to the tracking sites)
@timkmak the receivers fall back to multilateration when the aircraft's transponder GNSS has lost integrity
It's common in those areas for that to happen when GPS is jammed
But it's incredibly exceptionally super rare for that to be spoofing, I've only ever seen jamming and I've never seen spoofing in those data feeds
The night the #United #States and Israel launched their first strikes on Iran, visitors to #Flightradar24’s site doubled said Ian Petchenik, their director of communications and long-time #aviation expert.
