Two passenger planes may have flown over Ukraine, departing from Moscow and violating the closed airspace. This isn't the first time such an incident has occurred, as portals regularly record flights over various regions.

According to data from Flightradar24, the mysterious flight took place on Monday, February 24, marking the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion. Two aircraft, LMU616 and TK412, were detected over western Ukraine.

The TK412 V738 flight took off from Moscow at 2:15 AM and landed in Istanbul at 6:09 AM. During its three-hour flight, the aircraft may have violated Ukraine's airspace, flying nearly over Lviv. The plane is owned by Turkish Airlines, a Turkish airline.

The second aircraft, an A321 on flight LMU616, departed from Moscow at 3:04 AM; however, the date and location of its landing are classified. It is known that the airplane belongs to AlMasria Universal Airlines, an Egyptian private company. Notably, the portal indicates that this airline conducts domestic flights to Cairo.

Additionally, since the onset of the full-scale invasion, the airspace over Ukraine remains closed. However, monitoring services have repeatedly detected passenger planes over various Ukrainian cities.

There could be several reasons for this: transmission of distorted data regarding the aircraft's location, failures in ground receiving stations, GPS interference, active use of electronic warfare, or issues with data processing in the Flightradar service.
