Today, a USAF Northrop Grumman RQ-4B Global Hawk (reg. 10-2045, c/s FORTE14) is operating over the Black Sea.

Unlike recent observations, the drone is focusing on the western part of the basin, where the grain route allows cargo ships departing from Odesa to reach the Bosphorus.

The drone is operating at an altitude of approximately 53,300 feet and, as usual, took off from NAS Sigonella.
