Highly unusual situation today in the Balkans.
In recent days, we had observed significant SIGINT activity near Serbia carried out by NATO assets. However, something unprecedented is happening today.
A US Army Bombardier 650 ARTEMIS (reg. N159L – c/s BRIO66) is currently orbiting over Bosnia, from where it can monitor most of Serbian territory. This is not the first time this asset has been used for such a mission.
What is unprecedented, however, is the deployment of a USAF Northrop Grumman RQ-4B (reg. 10-2045 – c/s FORTE11), which took off from Sigonella for a similar operation. Right now, a Global Hawk drone is orbiting over western Bulgaria, near the Serbian border.
We have never seen one of the USAF drones from Sigonella used in this area before.
