Also today we report a mission of a USN Boeing P-8A in the Black Sea theatre.
The aircraft, which took off from NAS Sigonella at 10:53 CEST, is now (13:30 CEST) in flight over the sea south of the Danube delta.
The Poseidon is flying over land, but its sensors allow it to monitor the stretch of sea in front of it for several tens of kilometres.
From this position, it can also easily control the sea area around Snake Island, which has been the target of several Ukrainian actions against the Russian outpost two weeks ago and which the Russians have recently strengthened again.
