These days we are tracking an intense aerial activity over the Black sea, off Crimea. This morning we have tracked two RAF aircraft and one NATO AWACS operating in the area.

Also this morning at 10:52 CEST an Italian Air Force Boeing KC-767A (MM62228) took off from Pratica di Mare AB heading for the Black Sea.

Once it arrived in the area, around 12:30, the aircraft began a mission of aerial refueling lasted about an hour. At around 13:50 CEST the plane continued its flight to Pratica di Mare AB where it landed at 15:42.

We don’t know what other aircraft we took part in the mission.
