Today as well, we tracked a mission lasting about 4 hours involving a USN Boeing P-8A over the western Mediterranean.

This time, the American aircraft orbited at an altitude of approximately 10,000 meters off the coast of Algiers, in a position that could be consistent with where the Russian spy ship, ‘monitored’ by NATO aircraft in recent days, might be located.


If the route is confirmed, the ship could leave the Mediterranean in the coming days via Gibraltar. Should this happen, we will find out thanks to the numerous OSINT enthusiasts in the area.”
