Interesting flight track.

Yesterday's track, also flown as CMB161, is just as interesting: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/a...713ck#2496d51d

I suspect today's might have involved a change of plan when already airborne.

There might also be operational reasons for strange routing such as cargo. Do certain countries either openly or not restrict the overflying of certain military equipment ? This might account for strange doglegs at times.

I would suggest it is carrying what is classified as DANGEROUS cargo. The routing suggests avoidance of heavily populated areas both in Germany and The Netherlands.
