Right now, NATO scouts are performing tasks in the western part of the Black Sea.

Three aircraft are involved in the operation: the P-8 Poseidon P-8 basic radio patrol plane, the E-3A long-range radar detection aircraft, the LX-N90450 onboard number and the Boeing C-135FR air tanker.

The operation began in the morning.

"Poseidon" flew from the base of the Court, that in Crete, and, passing over Greece and Romania, entered the Black Sea airspace. A little later, the "plate" E-3A took off from the German base of Rammstein.

Approximately two hours ago, 200 kilometers east of the Romanian Constanta, the French tanker C-135FR. He clearly waits for the end of the mission to transfer fuel to the gluttonous E-3A for the return journey. "Poseidon" usually does not need such infusions.
