Hey everyone
recently multiple OSINT folks spotted unusual and multiple fake HEX code switches mid flight on some E-B Mercury aircraft. It is common for tactical aircraft such as the USN P-8A Poseidon, and SIGINT acft. such as the RC-135 Rivet Joint to fake HEX codes. However it is highly unusual, aircraft with a strategic purpose, fake their HEX codes. It seems like the E-6B's are getting fitted with contingency OPS modifications, to support the B-2 Spirit stealth bombers currently deployed at Diego Garcia. The last time E-6B Mercuries were fitted with fake HEX codes was back in 2003 when Operation Iraqi Freedom started, back then E-6B's received multiple modifications.
