Reconnaissance over the Black Sea

Monitoring of reconnaissance flights over the Black Sea began on September 1, 2026, with a Turkish aircraft conducting initial missions. Over the following weeks, aircraft from the UK, France, the USA, and Sweden joined the reconnaissance efforts, patrolling the areas around Crimea and Russia’s Krasnodar Krai. As of mid-October 2026, reconnaissance operations continue, with the American Bombardier ARTEMIS II actively carrying out missions in the region.
