“FORTE11” (USAF Northrop Grumman RQ-4B, reg. 11-2046) has departed this morning at 05:39 CEST from NAS Sigonella and it has arrived over the Black Sea at around 08:20 CEST.

Since then, it has been orbiting the western part of the Black Sea south of Crimea peninsula.

With its sensors it can monitor most of the Black Sea, the Crimea and the Kherson area (where a Ukrainian counteroffensive is underway)
