[REGNUM] Flightradar spotted a reconnaissance aircraft and two RAF fighters off the coast of Crimea

In the Black Sea off the coast of Crimea, a large strategic reconnaissance aircraft of the British Air Force and two fourth-generation multi-role fighters were noticed. This follows from data from the flight tracking service Flightradar .

According to the data received, the Boeing RC-135W Rivet Joint around 17:30 Moscow time made a circle over the coast of Romania, and then advanced eastward. The aircraft was escorted by two NATO Eurofighter Typhoons. All three aircraft headed towards the Crimea, and after some time proceeded in the opposite direction.

As REGNUM reported, earlier the MQ-9 drone, which was flying near the Crimea with the transponder turned off, fell into the Black Sea. According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) fell as a result of sharp maneuvering. The device went into uncontrolled flight with a loss of altitude and collided with the water surface. The Russian fighters did not use airborne weapons, they did not come into contact with the unmanned aerial vehicle and returned safely to the home airfield, the defense ministry said.
