>Flight tracking services yesterday showed a Chinese military aircraft operating around Hainan while broadcasting the identity of Royal Air Force Typhoon ZK334 and the callsign YILO2400.
The behaviour visible on the map did not resemble the flight characteristics of a Eurofighter, obviously. The track remained close to Chinese airspace and eventually terminated on Hainan Island, close to areas known for activity by Chinese unmanned systems.
Flightradar24 relies on data from a dispersed set of volunteer receivers. The readings in this case were stable enough that the track remained visible for a significant period and showed a coherent movement pattern.
