How do you communicate with unauthorized/unidentified aircraft?

252 views

I’ve seen movies in which pilots communicate with unauthorized planes in order to force them to go away/land nearby immediately.. etc.

​

Do all planes from all countries have an universal radio frequency? (Even ones flying illegally?) How does it work?

The military also uses challenge and response transponders to identify friendlies and enemies, and is literally called identification friend or foe (IFF). Or at least they used to.
