New reconnaissance mission over the Black Sea for a USAF Northrop Grumman RQ-4B (reg. 11-2046 – c/s FORTE10).
The aircraft, which took off from NAS Sigonella, is operating over the central Black Sea south of the Crimea.
After a few days without a mission, the USAF drones have resumed monitoring the area, once again going inside the Ukrainian FIR, while in recent weeks they have always remained inside the Turkish FIR.
