A 19-year-old reacts to the Ukraine war: he wants to post the positions of the planes of Russian oligarchs and the Russian president on Twitter.
Florida – His profile picture on Twitter shows a mischievously smiling young man. Strictly speaking, he applies in his home country, the USA*, even as a boy. Jack Sweeney is 19, a freshman student at the University of Central Florida, and he openly takes on the super-rich, according to the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) in the US.
About a month ago he drew attention to himself with the Twitter account “@ElonJet”, on which he reported the private jet of Elon Musk* tracked using bots to obtain air traffic data and always track the location of the private jet. The Tesla founder reportedly paid Sweeney $5,000 to have the account deleted. But Sweeney refused.
Ukraine war: 19-year-old wants to understand flight paths of Russian oligarchs and Putin
On Sunday (02/27/22) the teenager set up another Twitter account: @RUOligarchJets. According to his own statements, he posts the positions of the jets of Russian oligarchs on this. Sweeney said he set up the account in response to requests from various people after the Ukraine conflict* had escalated. Before Russian troops invaded the Ukraine* he himself would have known very little about the Russian millionaires who are their president Wladimir Putin* often very stand close and support him*.
One of these oligarchs is Roman Abramovich. His estimated net worth is $12.6 billion. According to the book “Putin’s People” by author Catherine Belton, he is said to have bought Chelsea FC on Putin’s instructions in 2003 in order to increase the influence of the president.
The young student has been following the jet of Putin’s confidante Abramovich on Twitter for a few days. Most recently, it is said to have landed in Ankara.
19-year-old warns of mistakes: A Russian oligarch has already been assigned to the wrong jet
Sweeney set up a second Twitter account called @PutinJet. There he pursues Russian planes in which Vladimir Putin could be. He also created this account when asked: “People have been asking me about Putin for a while, they wanted to know if they can track him,” Sweeney told NBC.
However, the student warns that the information may be inaccurate as in Russia* only a few flight data are available. The Süddeutsche Zeitung has already reported on the wrong assignment of a plane that landed in Munich. Ultimately, the machine had nothing to do with the suspected oligarch inside.
