Tonight, a US Navy Northrop Grumman MQ-4C (reg. 169660 – c/s BLACKCAT5), took off from NAS Sigonella and carried out a SIGINT mission over the Eastern Mediterranean.

As shown on the map, the drone focused its operations off the Syrian coast but also monitored the entire eastern coastline of the Mediterranean basin, including Lebanon, Israel, and eastern Egypt.

Currently (10:00 CET), BLACKCAT is returning to Sigonella.
