Public ADS-B only
Live military flight tracker
Military ADS-B on this map is only what those airframes broadcast and public dumps tag as military. Tankers and transports appear. Fighters on wartime tasking usually do not.
Europe, the UK, and the USA
Saved explores exist for military flights over Europe, the UK, and the USA. Those URLs are shareable. They still only show what is talking. A quiet FIR is not proof of a quiet sky.
How to read a contact
Keep civil Aircraft on. A red military icon next to ordinary airliners is the point: you are looking at the same broadcast system, with a flag. Hex, callsign, altitude, and speed live in Data. Do not caption a screenshot as a targeting picture.
How to use this view
- Launch with Aircraft and Military Aircraft enabled.
- Start over Europe or the US — that is where public dumps are densest.
- Click a red contact. Note hex and time.
- Open an explore link if you want a colleague on the same box.
Data source, update rate, and limits
adsb.lol-class military dump plus civil ADS-B for context. Updates about every 45 seconds for the military list.
Spoofing, mode changes, and missing IFF exist. Dark aircraft are invisible. This feed is not suitable for operational military decision-making.
Questions
Why don’t I see fighters?
Many combat airframes do not broadcast ADS-B, or they go dark. Absence is not a kill chain.
Is this 3D?
Yes. Use 3D Globe from the header after you launch. The desk view is 2D so you can actually work.
Can I watch the UK only?
Open the UK explore page or zoom the launched map to 54°N, 2°W.
Do you add classified overlays?
No. Public data only.
How is this different from civil tracking?
Same radio idea, different filter. The military page is the filter plus honest limits.
