Around 08:00 CEST a NATO Northrop Grumman RQ-4D “Phoenix” (reg. AV-SA0018 – callsign MAGMA?) left Sigonella Ab southbound on route to make surveillance mission over Libya.

The drone is still visible on tracking sites (09:20 CEST) but, as usual, when it will enter into Libyan airspace it will switch off its transponder.
