British reconnaissance aircraft are scanning the Black Sea this month.
NATO reconnaissance missions above the waters west of Russia-occupied Crimea continued this month, despite a recent warning from Moscow about the intensity of U.S. spy flights over the Black Sea.A British Royal Air Force RC-135W Rivet Joint, an electronic intelligence-gathering aircraft, flew a two-hour sortie off the coast of Romania on Monday, about 150 miles west of Russia's Black Sea Fleet garrison of Sevastopol, according to GPS signals captured on Flightradar24.
Air Force, which has 17 Rivet Joints in its inventory, says the platform provides 'near real time on-scene intelligence collection, analysis and dissemination capabilities.'The RC-135 family of reconnaissance airframes, each of which carries a mission crew of more than two dozen, was first flown in the 1960s and 1970s. They are expected to remain in service well into the 2040s.
