Two days ago we’ve tracked an unusual mission of an Italian Air Force P-72A west of Crete, assuming that it might be somehow related to Russian Navy units in the area.
This morning around 9:00 CEST a Turkish Navy P-72MPA (reg. TCB-752 – callsign MARTI32) performed a mission south of Crete, orbiting for about an hour at an altitude of about 1,500 feet.
Again, we do not know the reasons for the mission, but unlike the P-72A, this trim is equipped with anti-sub capabilities.
