The Japanese government requires the removal of state aircraft by application Flightradar 24

The Japanese government is outraged by the Swedish administration Flightradar 24, which may indicate the location of the aircraft in real time and thus demonstrated the movement of the Japanese government aircraft. 



Through this program, the user gets access to the basic information that is considered secret. The application is able to show in real time, where he was headed or another aircraft of the Japanese (and not just Japanese) government - Japanese Air Force One. 

These aircraft are used in the operations of the Japanese prime minister and the most senior political leaders of the country to travel abroad. As counterterrorist measure information for these flights are never revealed. 



This situation has not stopped the creators of the application. Publicly presented Flightradar 24 shows the coordinates, the route and speed of government aircraft. And more: real-time displays their current location by offsetting the special signal ADS-B, which is used for collision avoidance in the air. 

Japanese Ministry of Defense has sent an official note to developers, with a request to terminate the display of any information on government flights to Japan. 

Application Flightradar 24 became extremely popular after the liner Boeing 777 of Malaysia Airlines was shot down over eastern Ukraine.
