Yeah, congested airspace would be very dangerous if they weren't. US and Russia accuse each other of turning off transponders.

You will sometimes see military aircraft on Flight Radar 24. In the UK you will sometimes see F-15s, MV-22 Osprey. Sometimes the odd Tornado GR4.

I have an app on my phone that shows me what planes are in my area (FlightRadar24) and it works great . But I was out on a walk yesterday I heard a jet fighter on manouevers above the clouds. It was very loud and distinctive and I heard it a few times. But nothing was showing on the app.
