Please help identify the Sudanese military aircraft that is bombing civilians.
Highly unlikely it has ADSBx on during a military operation so unless you have photos it’s going to be impossible to tell.

Yeah, sorry, we can’t help. It’s not actual radar, and military aircraft can easily turn off their transponder which ASDBx uses to show it to you on a map. Do you have local UN contact info?

What pictures do you mean? Most of the planes that bomb civilians are Russian Antonov planes or Chinese K8 planes.
Unfortunately, the UN office was moved because Khartoum became an area of armed conflict.

ADS-B Exchange shows aircraft on a map based on transponder data received by feeder stations. If the aircraft you are interested in are not showing on the map, it's likely that they do not have transponders active (most military aircraft don't, especially when on active missions, because they obviously don't want to be trackable), or possibly that there are not enough feeders in the area.

Are there other ways to track? Because it's about saving innocent people.

If you're able to get the registration of the aircrafts involved by any way, it could help track the aircraft at some point, but you can't really do much more
Even if you could track them, what would you want to do more ?
This one is a converted an-12 into a bomber
You could also scan the satellite imagery of every air force bases in the area to find somes

They are bombing schools, markets, shelters and hospitals, so civilians must be warned in advance. A few days ago, a plane exploded in the area carrying about 40 tons of explosives. It was an Ilyushin cargo plane converted into a bomber.

You can't track that without military grade equipment (radars basically), sorry.

The plane that crashed

Also, by photos we mean actual photos of the planes flying over, this can be used to prove they were there. The UN probably has access to radar (via someone else) but even then I’d guess radar coverage of Sudan isn’t that great to begin with. That would make photos even more important, as that’s likely the only proof of who is doing the bombing
That plane crashed and does have ties with a Russian arms dealer but I haven’t seen anything where it’s been converted to a bomber. The company is based in the UAE and does have some sketchy connections.

The planes were purchased by the Sudanese government, as explained by the Russian authorities, and then converted into bombers, in which a Sudanese and Russian crew died.

Okay. I’m going to see if I can find a non-government org I can share that with. What city / province are you in so I can tell them where this is happening?
Also if you give me a date and time and your approx location I can try and look it up, but I would doubt they have their transponders on :/
Are those from right now? 4:30 pm?

These planes have been bombing citizens every day since the date of writing this post. More than a hundred citizens have been killed and their homes have been destroyed. The area is the Darfur region in western Sudan, as shown in the picture.

Any stills of the aircraft?
