A  RAF Boeing RC-135W (reg. ZZ664), departed from Souda Bay AB, is carrying out (17:00 CET) this afternoon a surveillance misison over the Black Sea.

After what happened on September (an RAF RC-135 was intercepted by Russian fighters who fired a missile by mistake) two RAF Eurofigther FGR.4s (reg. ZK327/ZK338– callsign DREAD/011012) are escorting the aircraft over the Black Sea.

The two Typhoons departed from RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus, have carried out an in-flight refuelling over Romania with the help of an RAF tanker, an Airbus KC.2 (reg. ZZ337), which also took off from Cyprus.
