Propaganda is still dangerous, and a country at war has no obligation to allow the country it is at war with to continue to openly spread it. Banning RT makes sense in that context. I don't see the banning of Al Jazeera in the same lig

This is the biggest contract they've been awarded, sure, but they do have an established track record and have been investing in larger scale capacity lately. For highly specialised aircraft with a small procurement number it can make

Nah. This data is all publicly available already and easily accessible for any motivated nation state. Who, if they're in the area, would also be able to use their own receivers and radars in any case.
