    Some flights tracking on the route disappears, after some minutes reaappear. what is the reason, just because of line of sight antenna?

    It means we don't have any, or in the case of MLAT enough, feeders in that area.

    Without knowing altitude or location it's hard to say the reason. Lack of coverage is most likely.

    ADSBx does not fake the flight path based on flight plans like FR24 and FlightAware.

    I'm not sure you can say news is a lie ...

    What you can say is they use those for transporting missiles and it does appear that is a good reason to go to Syria. There's a proxy war between Russia and US in Syria, because an official war would result in nuclear strikes ....

    If you are asking about FR24 data you would need to ask them, ADSBX can’t comment on something it doesn’t control or even have access to.

    I live in a rural area so my receiver is somewhat isolated from other receivers. What I've seen happen is low-flying aircraft near me will only be visible to my receiver but if it's too close the A/C disappears. After the A/C moves outside a certain radius from me it reappears. I'm pretty sure it's because my receiver front end gets overloaded temporarily.

    That would sound correct to me and is very common, you should look at reducing your gain levels, especially if you have an FA Blue SDR with built in LNA.
