    Either ATC would have you copy a phone number, or the military would send you a high-explosive welcome package. Not sure which is worse.

    I don’t know exactly why, but there’s a conspicuous lack of navigation waypoints over the Urals. It’s probably not a safe idea to have aircraft cross over a mountain range when it can be avoided. Most of the airways cross directly west-to-east.
