New missions in the central Mediterranean for the USNavy’s Boeing P-8A.

After yesterday’s mission over the Ionian Sea, today we record an unusual activity south of Sicily.

In fact, two P-8As alternated in the area but in this case, unlike yesterday, shortly after take-off the transponders were switched off, making it impossible to accurately track the flight.
