I had assumed that military types would not be shown for possible security reasons?
Unless any aircraft,civil or military, is using a Mode 'S' transponder it will not show on either FR24 or SBS-1 equipment.
As a '7700' squawk indicates an emergency (possibly for test purposes) however, it will show up.
