Tracking Russian Open Skies Tu-154M / Tu-214ON Aircraft

While American Open Skies flights have been using the same planes since the Treaty on Open Skies (Open Skies Treaty) came into force in 2002, the Russian Federation are phasing in a new pair of Tupolev Tu-214ON planes. The Tupolev Tu-154M is still being used for Canadian / US / Danish overflights, and I am not sure how long it will be before the Tu-214ON takes over.

Tupolev Tu-154M/LK-1
Reg: RA-85655
C/N 89A798
ICAO 194E97 (154E97?)

Tupolev Tu-214ON
Reg: RA-64519
C/N 42709019
ICAO 14FC07

Reg: RA-64525
C/N 41003025
ICAO 14FC0D

It seems like only RA-64525 can be found on adsbexchange.com, and neither of the new planes can be found on flightradar24.com. Hopefully they fix that soon!

Why does this blog exist?

I'm a Canadian, and a military history buff; when I stumble on military-related news that reads like a press release, rather than proper reporting, I like to do a deeper investigation. I try to aggregate the story that isn't being explicitly told. There's usually more to a story than the military says, and I like to figure some of those riddles out. Topics will vary from Air Bases of the Cold War, to nuclear weapons bunkers, or naval auxiliary ship movements. There's a lot that hides in plain sight; you just need to know what you're looking at to notice.

This blog will not focus exclusively on any one State or one part of a State's military. My interests cross national boundaries and are not a reflection of my support for any State. I'd like to think I'm equally critical of the narrative provided by many governments. Expect topics based on the actions of the Russian, American or Canadian armed forces.

I am not a conspiracy theorist; I find the term marginalizing and offensive. I do not believe that lizard people run the shadow government that controls all the world's affairs. I believe there are lots of classified projects and missions the militaries of the world undertake, and don't want to explain in the public eye. Much of what the military says, isn't reflective of what they do. I believe the revelations of Edward Snowden have shown anything is possible with a virtually unlimited budget; so I don't think I'm as much a conspiracy theorist as a realist.
