Within a week, the tracking system for passenger aircraft in Central Europe failed twice. According to Austrian daily, “Kurir”, the problems occurred at radar stations in the Czech Republic, in Germany and Austria.
Few days ago "Kurir" wrote that last Thursday (5th) several planes over Central Europe disappeared from radar. A break in the tracking lasted for dozens of minutes while the planes continued their voyages without any problems. After landing, the crews denied that there were any problems with their on-board systems. The problem occurred while NATO conducted electronic warfare exercises.
The second problem occurred on Tuesday (10th) while there were no NATO exercises nearby.
European air safety agencies are investigating.
