#3 The European Union Naval Force has sent a maritime patrol aircraft

They at least reportedly have an aircraft.

#5 I have no idea, of course, but I suspect the aircraft belongs to one of the EU countries' national navies, and has been sent for the purpose with the crew wearing special EU Naval Force berets. When its turn in the rotation is up, the berets will be handed on to the next aircraft's crew.
