Do military aircraft show up on Flightradar24?

Where are the military planes on Flightradar24? FR24 filters out most of them, although recently I've noticed that a few get through. There are other similar sites such as adsbexchange that show them. Any airplane using ADS-B will show up on Flt Radar24.
