ex RAF ground to air comms here. This is nothing new, they come over and do this every week, sometimes a couple of times a week. Have done for many many years. What was more interesting was when Aeroflot used to deliberately turn off there ident to get a reaction.
@@TraceUK They're constantly probing their enemies' defenses, gauging reactions and looking for any holes. When I was growing up during the cold war, they'd send Bear bombers (propeller driven, not meant to be a serious threat) across the Bering strait constantly, and my friends' dads in the air force basically escorted them away as their day job as fighter pilots. We had air raid sirens on poles. Those never went off, but Russia harassing others' air forces is par for the course. Same with the Chinese.
@@MaggieKeizai the RAF used to do the same back so its all fair . rude hand gestures in the windows along with cartoons drawn held up to windows all good fun until one side or the other pushes a bit to far
According to a former GCHQ guy I knew, now dead, back in the 1950s the Russians used to communicate en clair, and he and his colleagues were out there listening to them in the desert with RAF cover in cause they were caught. He said after a bit they knew quite a bit about the private lives of some of the Russians, picked up some Russian jokes, and decided they were "just like us". After a few years he got bored, declined promotion to a desk job, and was found a rather well paid job in a government-friendly organisation. He didn't visit Russia till the Yeltsin era on a tour, accidentally came out with some fluent colloquial Russian in front of the tour guide, and was thereafter regarded with great suspicion and none of the Russians would talk to him. Old habits died hard.
those where time when knowing Russian is seen as suspicious I bet. It is just a language. Knowledge can make some people look like spies and criminals. It could be applied to just about anything.
Just remember that the Tu-95 Series are EXTREMELY LOUD!!!!! So whoever is sending the message is SHOUTING into the mike, just to be heard over the engines! I know pilots who have intercepted them, and can verify that the Bear is louder than the jets that they are sitting in! The Bear is so loud that the US tracks it by SOSUS - Microphones under the Ocean meant to track submarines. It can track a Bear from several HUNDRED miles away!
I read a book written by a Phantom pilot decades ago. When he first intercepted a Bear, he noticed his aircraft was vibrating. Took him a few seconds to realise it was the engine noise from the Bear.
@@RCAvhstape It's the contra-rotating props that cause the noise, even if the engines were of a much lower RPM they'd still be loud as hell because extreme noise is the biggest drawback of contra-rotating props where the second prop is churning up the air of the first prop. Top speeds that can rival a jet engine make up for the noise.
If you were serious, it used to be that civilian GPS receivers would act up if you seemed to be going at an unreasonable speed. Like, flying in an airplane.
I had a relative who was once in the RAF - he showed us a couple of photos of when he was aboard a Nimrod shadowing one of those Russian clunkers. They were close enough to see one cheeky Russian airman holding up a dirty magazine against the glass of one of the windows. And another one of the same guy mooning the camera!
We Brits can do better. I worked with a very shapely woman, a blonde, in the 1990s. She had dated a guy in the RAF. He wangled a ride for her in a tanker. She told me: "I don't know what came over me. I saw those guys flying their fighters up close for a refill, and suddenly I pulled up my top. I wasn't wearing a bra!" I imagine morale went through the roof, but the refilling was a bit and miss...
The pilot after transmitting code starts saying "I 99 610, respond" asks the recepient to fix or amend something in a section that he names. It appears that he is receiving those codes and asks parts of it to be checked and amended.
I was a Korean voice Intercept operator, stationed at Camp Humphrey's station called the Zollinger Station. I use to listen to the Russians and then pass their frequency off to a Russian voice intercept operator. The Russian voice operators always reminded me of North Korean tank voice operators with throat mics on... It was hard to tell what North Korean tank operators were saying let alone what a Russian voice operator would say..... You want to know why Russians don't do well in battle field movements? They can't understand each other either!!! And yes, the "give away" that it was Russian was the use of the word Priyom.... North Koreans use KomDo for com check. South Koreans use Esong for over.
I'm just impressed you were intercepting comms from nk tank operators. But I'm also completely uneducated on comm capabilities so maybe its not that impressive haha. Edit: After reading some responses I find myself even more confused and struggling on who to believe. But I guess that was the point haha
@@ronburgundy2457 Yes, but I did it from Camp Humphreys Korea. And I did it under the NSA. Guess whose coms I also copied? Your personal phone calls. Yes, since I was not on American soil, the NSA does not need a warrant. I copied corporate calls from Dayton, Ohio. I copied Los Angeles PD calls. I copied silicon valley high tech corporate calls. I had decoding equipment so your "secure" coms are worthless. I did this for the 10 years I was in the US Army. The sign over the door of the NSA says, "In God we trust, all else we monitor." Yes, I also spent 2 years at the NSA as a signal intercept analyst. I worked Photint and Sigint so I saw you from space which I could tell if you were smoking a cigarette. Don't believe that the Hobble telescope was always pointed into space!!! I also did jamming of the Salinas PD's emergency action exercise (one week long from a FATJAM unit). You know nothing of what your government does to you and you can't do anything about it.
Back in the 1970's Russian Bear aircraft used to buzz around North Sea oil installations on a regular basis. The RAF used to come and escort them out of the airspace with Nimrods. The Nimrod is a jet plane the Bear is a lumbering prop job. Back then Russians had spy trawlers bristling with antennas that would sit off the rigs for days at a time. I worked offshore North sea thru the 70's 80's and early 90's. I saw one Bear air craft and quite a few of the trawlers.
I don't know Russian, but I can understand few bits... Unfortunately, many of the words are of too poor quality for me to understand them. One aircraft has callsign 99 (recording starts with standard Russian way of sending callsigns I'm 99, then it gives the callsign of the other unit being called, the opposite of the way it's done in the west). After that, it sends groups of numbers: Usually two numbers 2 or 3 digit long numbers, but they might be 4 or 5 digit numbers separated into two groups, I'm not 100% sure. I couldn't understand who are they trying to call at the start, it's a callsign starting with 110-something, but I'm not sure which number exactly. Then at around 3:09, it says I'm 99, 110, which implies that it's calling unit with callsign 110, and again send the groups of two 2 digit numbers. Around 3:16, 99 calls 110 again, and then they send numbers in another format. In Slavic languages, there are nouns which are derived from numbers, so that such a special noun can be as a name for something. I unfortunately don't know the technical term for them. The next series of numbers are single digits transmitted in such way, until the interruption in the recording. They also call 110 several times, asking them to respond. At around 4:00 they instruct 110 to check and correct a series of numbers and then they send the numbers again, using the "noun" format I mentioned previously. At around 4:16 they say again, I'm 99 for 110, and I think that they indicate that the other side received everything correctly. So unless you know the exact protocol they use for numbers, there's not much info to be gathered here.
I wondering if the numbers are instructions to head towards pre-planned headings/waypoints. So one bomber is calling the other bomber and directing the other to head to a pre-planned heading/waypoint. Im assuming that these pilots would have been briefed together with mission plans before take off so its likely that both flight crews would have all the information they needed written on a notepad close by. So in the event that something should happen while on route. The flight lead could call out numbers on the radio and the other bombers would know to follow the instructions they were given during briefing/training etc etc.
@@Rose.Of.HizakiIn this recording, the call sign 99610 is most likely an operator on the ground and transmits a code (flight coordinates, etc.) to the aircraft(aircrafts). Moreover, he says “wait” to one, and the first one indicates to change some code digits that were incorrectly received.
It’s coordinates that they send so they can plot their progress and whereabouts every 30 mins. It’s just they have it in code so the radio transmission is decoded at the ground station - this is standard Russian practice that was done in the Soviet Union as well.
I heard such things!! I think it was lower than 7 MHz, more around 5MHz, and I was wondering what that signal was doing there! At first I thought that it must have been a mirror or harmonics from a different frequency. As it was so out of place I even send a recording to som,e friends! I was thinking that I intercepted "Local conversations", which were carried further because of the propagation and meteor scatter. May I add that I'm located in Warsaw.
I remember back in the mid 1990's I used to pickup the transmissions from the Mir space station I even got some recordings on tape (long since lost), a family friend translated a few and it was Christmas messages going back and forth!
1:00 So for anyone who doesn't know, ZZ336 is the UK equivalent of Air Force 1, if my understanding is correct, and it's also used as a tanker for refueling operations, so it's especially interesting that this whole ordeal involved this aircraft specifically
I remember the sky tv thing reporting what happens Something like max 3 mins to get aircraft up. If you fail, you get removed from QRA duty. Aircraft always waiting, fully fuelled, armed…Quick start operation…and no it obviously didn’t explain what was entailed at a technical level. And when the training is done…the pilots don’t know if it’s training or the real thing. Imagine taking off, and being told it’s a possible shoot down event. That’s a stress level beyond what most ever have to deal with. And let’s be fair…those Russian pilots can’t afford any mistakes either. Imagine their stress, what if an engine fails while near U.K…
The same day a P8 Poseidon from Lossie was flying search pattern off of the Isle of Man while a russian spy ship (the Yantar) was loitering over some fairly significant underwater infrastructure.
@@tgburnes There's gas fields down that way in the Morecombe Bay area with the pipelines from the offshore installations making landfall a bit outside of Barrow-in-Furness. That's likely to be what the Russian spy vessels are interested in, rather than anything to do with the Isle of Man.
@@Latviešu_Amēlija Someone who had an operational experience in another comment said: "It’s challenge and response from a one-time pad. It’s used for authentication purposes."
The person appears to have been transmitting numbers and then realised there is no reply. So then they started to keep asking for acknowledgement and that they are probably lost. Looks like nothing big.
Whenever i hear talk of a Tu95 Bear , i immediately think of the intro to the Beatles 1960s "Back In The USSR" song - intro is the sound of screaming turboprops.. :)
Nice catch Lewis. Not heard the bear net for a while but used to pick these up regularly at the beginning of the Ukraine conflict, voice nets were on 8909 ssb. One day I could hear them on a Xhdata d-808 just sat on my garden central U.K. someone translated and apparently they were calling back to base at Medyanka. Thanks for sharing. 73
Same here Was listening to ground units that then went offline due to arty strikes taking them out. Lots of unencrypted messages were filling the airwaves
I confirm that he transmits mostly meaningless numbers, apparently some kind of code. The word "раздел" (section, chapter, partition) is used as a call sign. It's funny that at some point he asks to correct some part of the code and gives new numbers. It is possible that the situation has changed or the data was received incorrectly the first time.
I think this might be related to when an F--16 tried to intercept one of these over the coast of Alaska... and then that now infamous video clip of an Su-35 just screaming by said F-16 pilot causing him to immediately panic... I mean I would too if I was trying to prevent an international incident, but someone else thought it'd be funny to pull a "Crazy Ivan" just like from the movie The Hunt for Red October (r.i.p. Sean Connery btw)
@@tgburnes that Viper pilot didnt panic. Voice logs showed he was calm and cool. He jinked to avoid jetwash so he didnt flame out. You got Russian aircraft wrong too. Seems like nothing you said was accurate, probably because youre talking out of your rear.
It’s coordinates that they send so they can plot their progress and whereabouts every 30 mins. It’s just they have it in code so the radio transmission is decoded at the ground station - this is standard Russian practice that was done in the Soviet Union as well. If they did not speak in code and just gave coordinates uncoded then potential enemies can also plot them from thousands of miles away.
I can’t speak a word of Russian but so much of it sounds repeated and expressionless that it’s probably just distance to target or interception. Stuff like that.
I remember this QRA from the 1960s when the RAF were using Lightning interceptors, they were spectacular, the hottest take off in their day going into a vertical climb. Less spectacular but better armed were the Phantoms in the 1970s and the Tornado F3 in the 1990s. The only thing that never changed were the Soviet Tu-95 "Bear" bombers flying since the 1950s.
The only thing that has changed in the UK is that the RAF grows smaller, year by year….I guess you are grateful that the US has airforce bases in the UK that can come to your aid….It’s pitiful really.
@@DerekLangdon-w9e Russia is not the superpower it has always thought it was.The US has over twice the fighters and bombers Russia has, and they are far more capable designs. Sadly Britain's armed forces are declining as weapon systems get more expensive. Also who wants to join a military were Woke - DEI recruitment means useless women and minorities get accelerated promotion.
More likely TU-142 variants, some with very sophisticated upgraded electronics. Russian naval exercises taking place would link with Russian maritime aircraft. This is no big deal it happens all the time, as long as they are in international air space and sea areas they are entitled to be there. The Russians are not dumb, they know exactly what they are doing, anyone who underestimates them is very foolish.
@@robshirewood5060 The Russians are primarily handicapped by their very limited technology. The Tu-142 is Soviet era legacy aircraft built in 1960s. It was very dumb of Russia to start a war in Ukraine which has exposed their many vulnerabilities and military incompetence. They have gone from Super-Power to 3rd-world status.
I'm an ADS-B watcher in the north east of england, they're constantly off the coast running military drills and have done since 2020 in multiple weathers, sometimes they do a flying pass off NCL airports runway interesting to watch...
Standard testing of RESPONSE to enemy airspace intrusion. Chinese do this also. Send plane into space and look at response. Look at how closely every thing is being watched. Look for weaknesses.
Interestingly, in russian military/aviation slang 50 is pronounced as "halfhundred" "полста" not the correct "пятьдесят". this must be confusing to non-native speakers that know a bit of russian
Would be interesting if you've heard any weird radio activity coming from the South of Ireland. Things are a little crazy at the moment, since there's all sorts of rumours buzzing around about involving a Russian "research" vessel called the Yantar being in Irish waters, specifically our South Coast. Apparently, the Yantar has a history of loitering near areas with a lot of undersea cables, so when you couple that with the sheer number of undersea cables off our coast, it's kinda getting a lot of people on edge. That and there's also rumours of US ships patrolling to our south, and now the Russian ASW aircraft travelling the English Channel ... really makes you feel like there's something weird going on.
If the crew manage to bypass aerial security they intend to land. The strings of numbers are to confirm orders from the chinese restaurant menu to take back for the airfield staff.
It is just code "I'm 99-610", followed by multiple number combinations, "repeat, copy" etc. Maybe he is giving coordinates direction or any other bearings to flight control.
Carrying on the tradition of decades. Must be great fun for the QRA crews. I know when a QRA launches out of Coningsby to intercept the odd airliner that they scramble a tanker too. On more than one occasion when a Typhoon has had to guide an airliner into Stansted that they've gone and met up with a tanker off the coast of Norfolk.
He calls out раздел, which means division, chapter, section, etc. The first number he says appears to indicate the sender, then there are a series of two digit numbers separated with dividers, then he says приём, i.e. over. And he repeats it several times.
My comment with the translation was removed. It was just a bunch of meaningless numbers anyway. Each part of the transmission began with 'I am 99 610.' At one point, the pilot also requested a check and correction for something in some "group". Some of the words were unclear to me. Additionally, each set of numbers was followed by the word 'division,' 'divide,' or 'separator.' I'm not sure how to translate that accurately
"Separation" is just that... A separator between sets of numbers corresponding to different meaning. Ex: abc = def = ghi where "abc" is location of waypoint 1, "def" location of Waypoint 2 and so on. Sending those groups determine a trajectory on a map. a, b, c usually are positions on a common map, so hard to decipher if that map is not available.
There were a bunch of numbers, you're right. It sounded like the speaker was observing actions and putting numbers after them. That's the best I can make out, but my Russian sucks.
@@Thelostgoldhunters As somebody mentioned earlier : One Time Pads - Codes that are impossible to break. When I was in the R.A.F. we monitored Russian Long Range Bombers - RL's, usually on Wednesdays and Friday evenings, during the summer months. Communications then were made with Morse code, and consisted of 3 figure groups, whilst the callsigns for the aircraft consisted of a combination of letters and figures, of three characters only. The aircraft and ground stations used 'complex' frequencies, i.e. operating on different frequencies, quite often, approximately 100k'cs apart. I used to enjoy my work, linking the transmissions, could be quite challenging over the course of the shift. On 'Busy' nights, the 'set room' would look similar to Berwick Street in Soho, Red Lights everywhere!!!
I heard a recording of you of WK End Radio, they play it between DJ sets sometimes. I thought that was pretty neat. I learned about Wk End radio from your lodon bandscan video, and I really enjoy their programming, you guys kind of cross.promoted one another. Big up😁😎
But why do you think it's pilots? I thought aircraft pilots don't communicate in code, because it would be too slow. I mean, in the end one of the speakers asks the other to correct a string inside of a group in the text
Priyom is what they use to end a transmission aka “blah,blah,blah…over[peiyom]. My stepfather was a spook with the USAF during the Cold War he listened to Soviet military radios coms daily.
@Thelostgoldhunters how would they get passed Denmark, Sweden, and Finland? If I were to make a guess I would say: Murmansk and staying well clear of Norwegian airspace.
Encrypted information is transmitted. Encoded in digital fariant. Where each digit is a code. And means a word. Where in the future if a key command encoded by a digit is received. The crew must take certain actions according to the flight mission instructions.
I was at lossiemouth at the moment the two typhoons launched. I have the station coms recorded. The typhoons wernt in any rush to leave. So this was just a typical Russian probing the UK as they do every week. FYI they had another sub near Murray too.
This has been going on since the 1970's when I worked on the Victor Tankers at RAF Marham. Typically once or twice a week the Tannoy would announce "Operation Tansor Static to readiness state 30" or similar. This was the call for the Victor crews to be ready to launch at 30 minutes notice to refuel Lightnings or Phantoms that had scrambled to intercept the Bears somewhere over the oggin in the Pharos gap. Twas ever thus:-)

Analogue voice on HF is so WW2 [*]. The Russians are pretty OK with comms, I'd expect them to do Digital HF Data for something as straightforward as a bunch of numbers. [*] Or is it? AFAIK, the Avro Lancaster's T1154 HF set was AM phone/CW but morse was the normal mode for ops. Later on in the war, RAF 'Master Bomber' aircraft hung around over target giving subsequent arrivals bombing instructions over VHF AM.
Before anyone gets their nickers in a twist this standard Russian flight that flies regularly since the early 50s . the funny thing is that the ministry of defence use such flights recently as propaganda
The coordinate "99-610" is not a standard geographical coordinate format. Geographical coordinates are typically expressed in latitude and longitude, using decimal degrees or degrees, minutes, and seconds. However, I found a few potential interpretations of "99-610": * Scientific Article Reference: In the context of scientific literature, "99-610" might refer to a specific page range within a journal article. To find the article associated with these coordinates, you would need more information, such as the journal name, volume number, and year of publication. * Specific Location within a Larger Dataset: If you're working with a large dataset, "99-610" could be a unique identifier or index for a specific record or observation within that dataset. The exact meaning would depend on the specific dataset and its organization. * A Non-Standard Coordinate System: In some specialized fields or applications, there might be non-standard coordinate systems that use codes like "99-610." Here are a few more possibilities: * Time: * 12-hour time format: If interpreted as time, "10-07 14-52" could represent two time points: * 10:07 AM * 2:52 PM * Geographical Coordinates: * Decimal Degrees: If interpreted as geographical coordinates, it's possible that "10-07" and "14-52" represent latitude and longitude values. However, this format is not standard. Geographical coordinates are typically expressed in decimal degrees or degrees, minutes, and seconds. * Specific Location within a Dataset: * If you're working with a large dataset, "10-07 14-52" could be a unique identifier or index for a specific record or observation within that dataset.
Ansolute delightful! Question: how do you pick up those messages? Have you got a scanner on all the time on interesting frequencies? I know it is probably one of your tricks of the trade, but do you mind spilling it? NO is an answer too😂

I saw it last year, was it? a plane being followed by two other aircraft as it was right over my house just above the roofline and my ears were bumming for a while afterwards. I haven't seen a lot of low flying over my house lately though by military jets.
ChatGPT said: Military airplane communications often use codes or encrypted formats, especially if they’re radio transmissions. The sequence you shared-65, 11, 31, 17, 18-could correspond to: 1. Coordinates or Waypoints: These numbers might be part of a coordinate system (latitude, longitude, or grid reference). 2. Operational Codes: They could represent mission-related codes, such as waypoints, instructions, or encrypted commands. 3. Call Signs or Identifiers: Identifying aircraft, formations, or units. 4. Time or Altitude: Could denote timing or altitude in thousands of feet. Without additional context, it’s hard to determine the precise meaning. If this is a real military message, decoding it would likely require classified information or specific knowledge of the operational context and codebook.

Just a bunch of numbers. Probably locations and such. They likely record the time taken before intercept. So they likely gave their location for when they knew they were intercepted

Total guess here. Trying to confirm that message was heard correctly and maybe some communication was going to the other direction on different frequency? Maybe some checksum used for some code group 6 (7887) ? Guessing due to words "confirm fix". Finally confirmation that message was received correctly imediatelly after that.

I had a relative who was once in the RAF - he showed us a couple of photos of when he was aboard a Nimrod shadowing one of those Russian clunkers. They were close enough to see one cheeky Russian airman holding up a dirty magazine against the glass of one of the windows. And another one of the same guy mooning the camera!
We Brits can do better. I worked with a very shapely woman, a blonde, in the 1990s. She had dated a guy in the RAF. He wangled a ride for her in a tanker. She told me: "I don't know what came over me. I saw those guys flying their fighters up close for a refill, and suddenly I pulled up my top. I wasn't wearing a bra!" I imagine morale went through the roof, but the refilling was a bit and miss...
hit and miss
The Russians love to show contempt for your miserable little military.
Creeps. Always stalking folk in international airspace.
The pilot after transmitting code starts saying "I 99 610, respond" asks the recepient to fix or amend something in a section that he names. It appears that he is receiving those codes and asks parts of it to be checked and amended.
I was a Korean voice Intercept operator, stationed at Camp Humphrey's station called the Zollinger Station. I use to listen to the Russians and then pass their frequency off to a Russian voice intercept operator. The Russian voice operators always reminded me of North Korean tank voice operators with throat mics on... It was hard to tell what North Korean tank operators were saying let alone what a Russian voice operator would say..... You want to know why Russians don't do well in battle field movements? They can't understand each other either!!! And yes, the "give away" that it was Russian was the use of the word Priyom.... North Koreans use KomDo for com check. South Koreans use Esong for over.
that's quite a nice story

Back in the 1970's Russian Bear aircraft used to buzz around North Sea oil installations on a regular basis. The RAF used to come and escort them out of the airspace with Nimrods. The Nimrod is a jet plane the Bear is a lumbering prop job. Back then Russians had spy trawlers bristling with antennas that would sit off the rigs for days at a time. I worked offshore North sea thru the 70's 80's and early 90's. I saw one Bear air craft and quite a few of the trawlers.
I don't know Russian, but I can understand few bits... Unfortunately, many of the words are of too poor quality for me to understand them.
One aircraft has callsign 99 (recording starts with standard Russian way of sending callsigns I'm 99, then it gives the callsign of the other unit being called, the opposite of the way it's done in the west). After that, it sends groups of numbers: Usually two numbers 2 or 3 digit long numbers, but they might be 4 or 5 digit numbers separated into two groups, I'm not 100% sure. I couldn't understand who are they trying to call at the start, it's a callsign starting with 110-something, but I'm not sure which number exactly.
Then at around 3:09, it says I'm 99, 110, which implies that it's calling unit with callsign 110, and again send the groups of two 2 digit numbers.
Around 3:16, 99 calls 110 again, and then they send numbers in another format. In Slavic languages, there are nouns which are derived from numbers, so that such a special noun can be as a name for something. I unfortunately don't know the technical term for them. The next series of numbers are single digits transmitted in such way, until the interruption in the recording. They also call 110 several times, asking them to respond.
At around 4:00 they instruct 110 to check and correct a series of numbers and then they send the numbers again, using the "noun" format I mentioned previously. At around 4:16 they say again, I'm 99 for 110, and I think that they indicate that the other side received everything correctly.
So unless you know the exact protocol they use for numbers, there's not much info to be gathered here.
"I 99610 received. "( Я 99610 приём)
I wondering if the numbers are instructions to head towards pre-planned headings/waypoints.
So one bomber is calling the other bomber and directing the other to head to a pre-planned heading/waypoint. Im assuming that these pilots would have been briefed together with mission plans before take off so its likely that both flight crews would have all the information they needed written on a notepad close by. So in the event that something should happen while on route. The flight lead could call out numbers on the radio and the other bombers would know to follow the instructions they were given during briefing/training etc etc.
@@Rose.Of.HizakiIn this recording, the call sign 99610 is most likely an operator on the ground and transmits a code (flight coordinates, etc.) to the aircraft(aircrafts). Moreover, he says “wait” to one, and the first one indicates to change some code digits that were incorrectly received.
It’s coordinates that they send so they can plot their progress and whereabouts every 30 mins. It’s just they have it in code so the radio transmission is decoded at the ground station - this is standard Russian practice that was done in the Soviet Union as well.
Hi Ringway, GREAT CATCH. You nailed some good stuff there.
I heard such things!! I think it was lower than 7 MHz, more around 5MHz, and I was wondering what that signal was doing there! At first I thought that it must have been a mirror or harmonics from a different frequency. As it was so out of place
I even send a recording to som,e friends! I was thinking that I intercepted "Local conversations", which were carried further because of the propagation and meteor scatter.
May I add that I'm located in Warsaw.
The are coming...ruuuuun.....
I remember back in the mid 1990's I used to pickup the transmissions from the Mir space station I even got some recordings on tape (long since lost), a family friend translated a few and it was Christmas messages going back and forth!

1:00
So for anyone who doesn't know, ZZ336 is the UK equivalent of Air Force 1, if my understanding is correct, and it's also used as a tanker for refueling operations, so it's especially interesting that this whole ordeal involved this aircraft specifically
This is a common event, both the UK & Russia do this to test response times & the Russians say that the UK is the fastest response times.
It’s because the UK was scared by 9/11. It’s QRA plan is top of the range for NATO, possibly even beating the USA.
I remember the sky tv thing reporting what happens
Something like max 3 mins to get aircraft up. If you fail, you get removed from QRA duty.
Aircraft always waiting, fully fuelled, armed…Quick start operation…and no it obviously didn’t explain what was entailed at a technical level.
And when the training is done…the pilots don’t know if it’s training or the real thing.
Imagine taking off, and being told it’s a possible shoot down event.
That’s a stress level beyond what most ever have to deal with.
And let’s be fair…those Russian pilots can’t afford any mistakes either.
Imagine their stress, what if an engine fails while near U.K…
The same day a P8 Poseidon from Lossie was flying search pattern off of the Isle of Man while a russian spy ship (the Yantar) was loitering over some fairly significant underwater infrastructure.

I confirm that he transmits mostly meaningless numbers, apparently some kind of code. The word "раздел" (section, chapter, partition) is used as a call sign. It's funny that at some point he asks to correct some part of the code and gives new numbers. It is possible that the situation has changed or the data was received incorrectly the first time.
They are probably confirming their location as the intercept approaches. Just to confirm they are in international, not UK national airspace.

Would be interesting if you've heard any weird radio activity coming from the South of Ireland. Things are a little crazy at the moment, since there's all sorts of rumours buzzing around about involving a Russian "research" vessel called the Yantar being in Irish waters, specifically our South Coast. Apparently, the Yantar has a history of loitering near areas with a lot of undersea cables, so when you couple that with the sheer number of undersea cables off our coast, it's kinda getting a lot of people on edge. That and there's also rumours of US ships patrolling to our south, and now the Russian ASW aircraft travelling the English Channel ... really makes you feel like there's something weird going on.
At least our MSM confirmed they'd found their target and how critical the infrastructure is. It's almost like propaganda.
If the crew manage to bypass aerial security they intend to land. The strings of numbers are to confirm orders from the chinese restaurant menu to take back for the airfield staff.
It is just code
"I'm 99-610", followed by multiple number combinations, "repeat, copy" etc.
Maybe he is giving coordinates direction or any other bearings to flight control.
Carrying on the tradition of decades. Must be great fun for the QRA crews. I know when a QRA launches out of Coningsby to intercept the odd airliner that they scramble a tanker too. On more than one occasion when a Typhoon has had to guide an airliner into Stansted that they've gone and met up with a tanker off the coast of Norfolk.
He calls out раздел, which means division, chapter, section, etc. The first number he says appears to indicate the sender, then there are a series of two digit numbers separated with dividers, then he says приём, i.e. over. And he repeats it several times.
My comment with the translation was removed. It was just a bunch of meaningless numbers anyway. Each part of the transmission began with 'I am 99 610.' At one point, the pilot also requested a check and correction for something in some "group". Some of the words were unclear to me. Additionally, each set of numbers was followed by the word 'division,' 'divide,' or 'separator.' I'm not sure how to translate that accurately
Break?
@@JdeBP BREAK = stationwagon in fr(og) ...
"Separation" is just that... A separator between sets of numbers corresponding to different meaning. Ex: abc = def = ghi where "abc" is location of waypoint 1, "def" location of Waypoint 2 and so on. Sending those groups determine a trajectory on a map. a, b, c usually are positions on a common map, so hard to decipher if that map is not available.
I'm new to Ringway Manchester but I am really impressed. This is the kind of information I love. Coffee it is, RM.

My Russian is pretty good it was strings of numbers, with the occasional plus, and the Russian equivalent of "over . likely coded communications.
@@Thelostgoldhunters As somebody mentioned earlier : One Time Pads - Codes that are impossible to break.
When I was in the R.A.F. we monitored Russian Long Range Bombers - RL's, usually on Wednesdays and Friday evenings, during the summer months.
Communications then were made with Morse code, and consisted of 3 figure groups, whilst the callsigns for the aircraft consisted of a combination of letters and figures, of three characters only.
The aircraft and ground stations used 'complex' frequencies, i.e. operating on different frequencies, quite often, approximately 100k'cs apart. I used to enjoy my work, linking the transmissions, could be quite challenging over the course of the shift.
On 'Busy' nights, the 'set room' would look similar to Berwick Street in Soho, Red Lights everywhere!!!

The coordinate "99-610" is not a standard geographical coordinate format. Geographical coordinates are typically expressed in latitude and longitude, using decimal degrees or degrees, minutes, and seconds.
However, I found a few potential interpretations of "99-610":
* Scientific Article Reference:
In the context of scientific literature, "99-610" might refer to a specific page range within a journal article. To find the article associated with these coordinates, you would need more information, such as the journal name, volume number, and year of publication.
* Specific Location within a Larger Dataset:
If you're working with a large dataset, "99-610" could be a unique identifier or index for a specific record or observation within that dataset. The exact meaning would depend on the specific dataset and its organization.
* A Non-Standard Coordinate System:
In some specialized fields or applications, there might be non-standard coordinate systems that use codes like "99-610."
Here are a few more possibilities:
* Time:
* 12-hour time format: If interpreted as time, "10-07 14-52" could represent two time points:
* 10:07 AM
* 2:52 PM
* Geographical Coordinates:
* Decimal Degrees: If interpreted as geographical coordinates, it's possible that "10-07" and "14-52" represent latitude and longitude values. However, this format is not standard. Geographical coordinates are typically expressed in decimal degrees or degrees, minutes, and seconds.
* Specific Location within a Dataset:
* If you're working with a large dataset, "10-07 14-52" could be a unique identifier or index for a specific record or observation within that dataset.

ChatGPT said: Military airplane communications often use codes or encrypted formats, especially if they’re radio transmissions. The sequence you shared-65, 11, 31, 17, 18-could correspond to:
1. Coordinates or Waypoints: These numbers might be part of a coordinate system (latitude, longitude, or grid reference).
2. Operational Codes: They could represent mission-related codes, such as waypoints, instructions, or encrypted commands.
3. Call Signs or Identifiers: Identifying aircraft, formations, or units.
4. Time or Altitude: Could denote timing or altitude in thousands of feet.
Without additional context, it’s hard to determine the precise meaning. If this is a real military message, decoding it would likely require classified information or specific knowledge of the operational context and codebook.

*They wanted to defect but wanted a confirmation of how much money they would get. They wanted $99,610 for each one of there 14 ordinances onboard and where confirming GPS landing spot.*
He was asking for directions to North Korea, as he had 10,000 heavy body bags to drop off.
It's funny because it's true.
Love how [CC] translates as Applause and Music 😂😂😂
So it translates as follows "Damm Brits the moved London. Can someone confirm the location? Last known location... then follows coordinates of Bracklach....Rest of conversation is about how his sister is $#@@! the new neighbour......
Awesome live feed
The guy asked for help in translating this. He gets a 90% idiot response.
Anything involving the Russians will illicit this for obvious reasons. The top comment is factual and very boring.
There is almost nothing to translate, they just give numbers. Someone in a comment above allegedly gave it to chatgpt and it managed to translate it, so you can see those numbers.
Just a bunch of numbers. Probably locations and such.
They likely record the time taken before intercept. So they likely gave their location for when they knew they were intercepted
😅 He gets a 91% idiot response. Someone is actually surprised enough to make an observation about ridiculous comments on UA-cam! 😉
@@phillipbampton911that's what I thought.
Good work here mate actually a great report.
Agree with someone else post I speak Polish and some words are the same spoken as Polish and there are many numbers spoken. the rest couldnt understand
They are not the same, a few are only a little similar (eg. they say siemiorka (seven), which is similar to siódemka). You just probably learnt Russian at school, as it was compulsory before 1989, hence you know it a little.
That's the fun thing about eastern European languages. Many words are shared and ur they're not they might have a similar root.
@@tokenlau7519lol what a condescending comment. You're wrong. Russian and polish have the same root language. They've changes and diverge a lot. But many things are still shared. From whole phrases to numbers and such
@@bobsemple9341 I am not wrong, he said that in that recording there are some words that are the same spoken as Polish, that they are the same words. This is false. There are no words in that recording that are spoken the same as Polish ones.
Of course that all Slavic languages are similar, that is not an issue.
@@tokenlau7519 I am a Brit born in UK of Polish parents. I have been to Russia 6 times (Yekaterinburg) when it was more stable. First visit was 3 days after the Kursk incident. I do speak Polish and many words in Polish and Russian are the same. Yes some numbers vary slightly but words like meat, fish for example are the same.
There was a rz ship in British water I think it was Friday too. Trying to think if I saw it Friday daytime or Friday through the night…or was it Thursday…anyway around Friday
Nice of the Russian airforce to stop the RAF from being bored
Well, you cracked it. It's an old game but it actually serves a purpose for us, keeps the pencil sharp.
RAF…..less than 80 front line fighters!! RN…Has 10 assorted ships and two aircraft carriers with no aircraft! British army couldn’t even fill a soccer stadium! The Brits hide behind the USA’s skirts making warlike noises!!….Should Russia, or anyone else makes a threat against the UK, the first thing they would do is cry to the US president like Churchill did in WW2…Don’t the limey pip squeaks make you laugh!
@@DerekLangdon-w9e Well, true I guess. That's what you get for being the leftovers of the largest empire the planet ever saw. USA could do well to take heed.
@@littlepippin8445Ah Yes the half a dozen or so balsa wood biplanes we still have (just about). Must keep the rubber bands wound up ready for war of course just in case. Budget cuts mean the uk has zero credibility left now.
Bots and vatnik trollops get everywhere don't they?
Sounds to me like 99 610 is callsign of the person talking (or plane). Other numbers - could be any code. Or maybe waypoints? Then pointing direction/next waypoint (going over to 6)? Total guess here. Trying to confirm that message was heard correctly and maybe some communication was going to the other direction on different frequency? Maybe some checksum used for some code group 6 (7887) ? Guessing due to words "confirm fix". Finally confirmation that message was received correctly imediatelly after that.
Hope the Russians are here to rescue us from Communism
No. They do this every couple of weeks to see how ready our air force is. So they can gauge how easy it would be to bomb us.
He's asking if he can go a little closer since he only has 2 bars on his phone and his movie download isn't finished yet.
Shared with Denys Davydov as suggested - good thinking!
I'm confident he'll hype some uber bullshit up
Loving the dnb in the outro. Bigups
