According to resources, “a strategic reconnaissance aircraft of the US Air Force RC-135W with a tail number 62-4134 and the call sign LIMB59, departing from Mildenhall airbase in the UK, flew over the southern border of the Kaliningrad region in the sky over Poland, and then, flying to Estonia, cruised along the western regions of the Leningrad and Pskov regions ".

The aircraft cruised north of the Estonian city of Tartu and west of the Russian border.

The reconnaissance to the south of the Kaliningrad region, carrying out a circular flight in the sky over northeastern Poland, was conducted by an E-3A Sentry AWACS long-range radar detection and command aircraft with a tail number ZH106 and NATO31.

In addition, "US Air Force strategic drone RQ-4B Global Hawk with tail number 05-2024, departing from Sigonella airbase on the Italian island of Sicily, on Tuesday afternoon around 14: 00 Moscow time flew to the Russian coast on the Black Sea," the message reads .

    There is a war going on, and there is nothing to be surprised at these flights. You just need to do your work more often, flying at their borders.

      But what about? You need to work out for what you get paid. Better let them scout their holes in the "umbrella" if this helps them, of course. lol

    They act like Germans before the war. Only while they are afraid to violate airspace.

        So where and when did you see Russian reconnaissance aircraft (and almost several times a week) near the borders of the United States?

            As soon as our "strategists" fly once a year over neutral waters, such a howl rises in the Western media ... And you say they don’t write.

    They take advantage of the fact that they can take off from their bases and reach the border of Russia.
    In principle, they always flew, since the days of the Cold War, so nothing new was invented. I believe in these cases, our air defense has a decent answer, if that.
    Interestingly, do we have any kind of child prodigy to extinguish their tracking and detection equipment?

    In total, there are four airbases for basing E-3A AWACS aircraft - Erland (Norway), Konya (Turkey), Geilenkirchen (Germany), Preveza (Greece). The call sign of NATO05 is the crew call sign .....

    Well, let them fly along the borders of our Kaliningrad region. And so almost every day, either the Swedish Gulfstream-4, or the F-16 Denmark or RC-135 on-duty team .... It's no longer interesting .....
