A Turkish Air Force Boeing E-7T “Peace Eagle” (reg. 13-004, callsign HVK42) has been operating today over the western Black Sea area.
After taking off from Konya Air Base, the aircraft flew north and entered Romanian airspace, performing several orbits near Constanța, close to the Black Sea coast.
This area has become increasingly active in recent months, with NATO surveillance and patrol missions regularly conducted to monitor the situation over the western part of the Black Sea and the airspace near Crimea.
The E-7T Peace Eagle, based on the Boeing 737 platform, serves as an airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft, providing real-time situational awareness and command capabilities for both national and allied air operations.
Today’s mission highlights Turkey’s continued contribution to NATO’s air surveillance efforts in the region, amid ongoing tensions and intense monitoring activities over the Black Sea area.
