This morning a French Navy Bréguet Atltantique ATL2 (reg. 5) took off from Souda Bay AB northwards.

The aircraft headed for the Black Sea, arriving on the sea between the Bulgarian and Romanian borders, where it then switched off the ADS-B transponder

This is the first time since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine that we have recorded a French maritime patrol aircraft mission over the Black Sea.
