I have all the military traffic up on ADS-b exchange again today. There was a US C-130 that took off out of Ramstein, flew within 20 miles or so of the Ukrainian border made some funky turns and, strangely, disappeared....

Also an unidentified plane call sign "FORTE10" orbiting at 53,000' over extreme northern Poland near the Russian Border. Gotta be a U2 (or and electronic/signals warfare plane).

From CNN

The fleet of E-6s have been flying approximately seven sorties each day since Feb. 23, according to airplane tracking data on ADS-B Exchange, a flight tracking website that picks up on an aircraft’s transponder signal. The increase in flights began as US and western officials warned that a Russian invasion of Ukraine could be imminent. Prior to that date, the E-6 fleet was flying approximately three to four sorties each day, tracking data shows.
The E-6 is a command-and-control aircraft designed as a platform for a “survivable, reliable, and endurable” link between the military’s top commanders, including the President as commander-in-chief, and the strategic and non-strategic forces who carry out those orders.
The aircraft has the critical highly classified ask of communications with ballistic missile submarines and ballistic missile silos, known as the TACAMO mission, which stands for “Take Charge and Move Out.” The E-6 can also launch ballistic missiles from silos using the airborne launch control system (ALCS).
Capt. Ron Flanders, the spokesperson for US Strategic Command, which oversees America’s nuclear weapons, said, “The Department of Defense routinely conducts and varies its flight operations as appropriate. We do not comment on the specifics of these operations nor on the manner in which they are conducted.”
“The E-6 is meant to serve as a survivable and redundant means of airborne command and control, keeping links between the our civilian political leadership and nuclear forces intact in a crisis,” said Ankit Panda, a nuclear policy expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

Agreed. The rumor is a Romanian Mig crashed.
Whether that was pilot error, mechanical failure, or something more nefarious is pure speculation.

Also the rescue helicopter they sent also disappeared.
