Global Hawk over Libya

Yesterday an USAF Northrop Grumman RQ-4B “Global Hawk“, departed from NAS Sigonella, made a reconnaissane mission over Libya.

The italian journalist Sergio Scandura tracked it via maltaradar tracking site.

The site don’t shown exactly the position of the Global Hawk but the drone was tracked for almost 7 hours.

We don’t know if the mission has lasted 7 hrs or more (maybe the drone was in flight to southern Libya and the receives lost contact).

While Global Hawks in flight over Ukraine or around Russian enclave of Kaliningrad are visible on the map, drones operating over Libya aren’t.
