Correct. Fighters do not fly with transponders however presence is often indicated by air refuel and AWACS in the area

Today is Estonia's 107th Independence Day. A B52 did a flyover from the parade.

It’s Estonian Independence Day parade :)

Tallinn overflight likely coming, Estonian independence day. They've done that during prev years too.

If the registration 60-004 is true that is a nuclear capable B52. Capable.

probably related to Estonia's Independence Day parade, during which the bombers fly over the old town every year

Clueless but concerned American here- this does not look good.

auonsson.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's rather common, at least the last years. Was even more aggressive a while back (2023?)

ksader.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thanks.

auonsson.bsky.social•1 day ago

I am more worried they might soon fly the other side of the border.

ksader.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes. I'm wondering if that is where this might be leading.

Found it…

A ceremonial Tallinn overflight in celebration of Estonian independence day. And lots of holding before and after.
