Where do you get your military info? Are you ex forces? Or is there a military site I can geek out on ?

It's radio nerd info really tbh. Just stuff I've picked up in 25 years of nerding out on radio comms. So much of the field is or was pioneered by the military.
@rodan has much more professional knowledge than I do.

in itself, its pretty typical for a plane to drop off from ADSB coverage when flying over remote areas. ADBS is only good for about ~200mi line of sight at absolute tops and receiver coverage tends to be heavily concentrated in urban areas.
Edit: Also worth pointing out that military planes only fly with ADSB beacons on if they want to be trackable by civilians.
