FORTE & MAGMA on task

This morning we are tracking two different missions operated by Global Hawk drones.

The USAF Northrop Grumman RQ-4B (reg. 09-2039 – callsign FORTE10) took off yesterday morning from Sigonella and carried out a first part of the mission over the Black Sea and a second part over the border between Romania and Moldova (an area that in the past was monitored by other assets).

While FORTE finished its mission another drone, this time a NATO Northrop Grumman RQ-4D (reg. MM.AVSA0015 – callsign MAGMA) left Sigonella and is heading towards the Ukrainian theatre.
Unlike the USAF drone, however, once in the area of operations, this drone will turn off its ADS-B transponder and we will not be able to track its flight.
