Given that it was tracked by satellite it can show up weird

Military flights currently in Europe that are transmitting ADSB. The tankers doing holding patterns are there for fights on patrol

Wouldn't it be cheaper to rotate planes than keep tankers in the air?

After many countries closed their airspace, the EU as a whole is closing it's airspace to Russia. Russia will definitely block it's airspace in retaliation.
For those tracking Aeroflot flights, they are all registered in Bermuda, not Russia

Keep in mind the importance of the Siberian Corridor, but given that China/HKG/Japan is still more or less shut due to COVID, the immediate impact won't be felt as fast, besides for cargo flights

Russia charges a lot for Siberian overflight permits, and they don't hand it out like candy, just ask AA how it is to fly from Delhi to JFK via Bangor

YERUSHALAYIM -
The Knesset Finance Committee Thursday morning approved a $2 billion state guarantee framework to allow Israeli airlines to keep operating the Israel-Russia route.

The move comes against the backdrop of Western sanctions imposed on Russia for its military campaign in Ukraine.

Israeli airlines announced that they would not be able to continue flying on the Israel-Russia route since their security policies stipulated that insurance coverage would not be granted for aircraft and flights that come in violation of sanctions.

The state has decided to provide guarantees due to the presence of tens of thousands of Israeli nationals and a very large Jewish community in Russia.
