NATO Aircraft Conduct Flights With Transponders Off Sifting the dust. The ring is composed mostly of dust particles no bigger than the width of a human hair. Rocks that are soccer-ball-sized or larger, at least 20 centimeters in diameter, make up no more than 10 percent of the ring -- which is unusual compared to other rings in the solar system. While NATO criticizes Moscow for violation of the flight rules, military aircraft of the alliance conduct flights with their radar beacons off. Now NATO acknowledged its aircraft do the same, however only "in exceptional cases during drills" and never in Eastern Europe, Spiegel adds. A transponder is a transmitting and responding electronic device that generates responses when it receives a radio frequency interrogation. Aircraft have transponders to assist them to identify each other and to minimize the risk of colliding. A transponder also transmits information on the type, speed, altitude, and id code of an aircraft. http://sputniknews.com/military/20150613/1023321804.html
