Azerbaijan is fighting it out with neighbor Armenia over disputed territory. Both reside between Georgia and Iran (and east of Turkey), which is why "Western" people such as you and I aren't generally exposed to this bit of information. Interesting that someone decided to DDOS only one of the three (that I know of) real-time ADS-B sites. Rob++ ----- Original Message -----

Down again the last few hours. Their Twitter feed says it’s a DDOS, third time in 2 days.
Rumors floating that Turkey is behind it as their military aircraft show up and they are allegedly moving a bunch of assets to (I think) Azerbaijan. I’m not familiar with whatever regional conflict is happening over there.

Unreachable via the web.
Mobile app mostly non-functional as well.
For people who have their own receiver set up to send data to them, they seem to work fine which makes sense as it is a local device.
Cloudflare Error 522 when trying to access their site, saying “Host Error."
They are the largest, or one of the largest, flight tracking sites globally.
