FR24 does not publish Military tracks. Period.

Also, have a look at FAA BARR programme.

It doesnt stop people using a DVB reciever, available for less than a tenner, and hooking it up to PC enthusiast software. You can typically track everything with ads-B to about 100 NM, using a coat hangar aerial. Or so I am told.

Apart from that being technically illegal in the UK, in accordance with the wireless telegraphy act 2006.

There are feeds out there, ADSBExchange being the main one, that rather nefariously, doesnt filter military tracks, which isnt great.

Fact is, genie is outside the bottle now. ADS-B will become an essential requirement, certainly for civilian airspace. Tracking is now Global, thanks to the latest Iridium constellation, launched by Space-X, having a piggyback ADS-B reciever on board. You can pay for a feed now with global coverage. Its called aireon.
