This afternoon the USAF Northrop Grumman RQ-4B (reg. 09-2039 – callsign FORTE11) departed from Sigonella is conducting a surveillance mission over the northeastern Black Sea.

In this case it is probable that the mission has as its object the situation in the Sea of Azov, in particular the clashes between Russian and Ukrainian forces in the area of Mariupol.
