3 /\ Thank God there is still an America they can come to. Losing a conflict can have very long-term consequences. Many French Huguenots and Jews found santuary from Euro-oppression in South Africa long before the events of 1948. Notice if you will, how few have migrated recently to the UK. Perhaps there is a message hidden here. Or possibly not so hidden.

6 "A U.S. Navy MQ-4C Triton surveillance drone disappeared abruptly and unexpectedly from online flight tracking sites after declaring an in-flight emergency while flying over the Persian Gulf today.
Is this related to the Changed code?

Squawk 7400 – UK Introduces New Drone Code. Not adopted worldwide

The UK is not starting from scratch here. The United States FAA in fact authorized the use of 7400 already in 2016. For US-operated UAS flying under FAA jurisdiction, 7400 has therefore been the expected lost-link squawk for nearly a decade. The code hasn’t been officially recognized by the ICAO yet. Europe’s EASA updated its Standardised European Rules of the Air (SERA) in 2025 and introduced a new code (7601). That covers radio communication failure in crewed aircraft, but so far anything similar for drones losing contact with its master has failed to materialize.

“As it isn’t globally recognized yet, you will not see UAS squawking 7400 on Flightradar24 at this time” .

Who knows what the future holds?

Navy MQ-4C Triton’s Fate Unknown After Disappearing From Flight Tracking Over Persian Gulf
Tracking data shows the MQ-4C rapidly losing altitude after declaring an unspecified in-flight emergency.

Online flight tracking data shows the MQ-4C had just completed a roughly three-hour-long flight over the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz and appeared to be returning to base at Naval Air Station Sigonella in Italy. The online tracking shows the Triton had just crossed into Saudi Arabian airspace before making a sudden turn to the northeast in the direction of Iran. Available data also shows the drone rapidly descended from a typical cruising altitude of around 50,000 feet down to below 10,000 feet.

The MQ-4C’s transponder was broadcasting (or “squawking”) the code 7700, which is a general declaration of an in-flight emergency, at the time. The code, by itself, does not offer any indication of what that the emergency might be or how serious the situation is. There are also unconfirmed reports that the Triton initially sent out another code, 7400, which is used to declare a loss of connectivity between a drone and its controllers on the ground."
