New central Mediterranean Sea patrol mission for this Hellenic Air Force Embraer EMB-145 AEW&C (reg. 757 – callsign OURAN41) departed from Elefsis AB, near Athens, around 08:15 CET.

The aircraft is in flight west of Crete near the Athens FIR border. We don’t know the exact nature mission but the Hellenic Air Force EMB-145 AEW&C is an asset of IRINI mission and it used to monitor the naval traffic to Libya.
