The incident yesterday with Belarus forcing a Ryanair flight to divert was totally unacceptable, and is likely to have severe repercussions. The Ryanair crew obviously had no options when intercepted by a QRA fighter.
Presumably Belarus airspace will now be avoided by all except their Russian mates?

A Ryanair from Pafos to Tallinn crossed Belarus a while ago so they're not avoiding the Belarus airspace, which is surprising.

I'm pretty sure US Air Force Global Hawk flights aren't normally visible on FR24 so the US is, I suspect, making a bit of a point today with the aircraft skirting Belarus 'visibly'.

Actually,, the RQ-4 flights are frequently visible on ADS-B. OK, they don't go up to the Baltic states that often.
Usual ones seen are 11-2049 [AE54B6], 08-2034 [AE5415] and 07-2027 [AE540E]. others have been noted in the past.

I did check on the ADS-B site when the flight was over the Black Sea but it wasn't showing there, though maybe that was due to lack of coverage in the area. It eventually made its way back to Sicily over Bulgaria and Greece.
