Why did the air route come into discussion?
The air route from India to Russia is in discussion. The reason for this is Putin’s visit to India. On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s plane became the most tracked plane in the world. More than 49 thousand people tracked it. According to the report of flight tracking platform FlightRadar24, Putin’s plane was the most tracked on their platform.
Putin’s plane became the most tracked plane.
Putin’s plane landed at Palam Airport in Delhi at 7 pm. Tracking data showed two Russian planes flying from Moscow to Delhi. It has been claimed in the report that in this an aircraft sometimes switched off its transponder and sometimes switched it on. This was done for security reasons, so that it could not be known which plane belonged to Russian President Vladimir Putin and it could be kept safe. Transponder is the device through which the air traffic controller gets the location of the aircraft and many other types of information.
A transponder is a wireless device that receives a signal and sends a different signal in response. If understood in simple language, it is a combination of “transmitter” and “responder”. Transponders are used for identification, location and tracking in aircraft, satellite and electronic toll collection systems.
