Reconnaissance aircraft and RAF fighters spotted not far from Crimea

A Royal Air Force Boeing RC-135W Rivet Joint reconnaissance aircraft was spotted today in the sky off the coast of the Crimean peninsula. This follows from the data of the special flight tracking service Flightradar.

Interestingly, the reconnaissance aircraft was escorted by two Eurofighter Typhoon multirole fighters with the call signs DREAD011 and DREAD012. The planes were flying with transponders turned off. The service recorded their location about 100 kilometers from the Russian peninsula.



It is known that at about 17:30 Moscow time, the plane made a circle over Romania, after which it flew in an easterly direction. Then the reconnaissance aircraft and the fighters accompanying it turned in the opposite direction.

Also at this time, an Airbus KC2 Voyager multi-purpose tanker aircraft with the callsign RRR9954 was flying near the peninsula. This aircraft, in turn, took off from RAF Brize Norton Air Base and also flew over the Romanian coast from 16:00.

Such a frequent appearance of aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles of NATO countries over the Black Sea, including in the immediate vicinity of the Crimean Peninsula, may be due to obtaining information about the locations and activities of the Russian armed forces, including the Black Sea Fleet. This information may be required by Western military intelligence to pass on to Ukrainian formations, since the Kiev regime does not hide its plans to attack the Crimean peninsula.

    They are afraid, so they respect them, before they flew near the Crimea without fighters. The downed Reaper hiccups them.

      They will become afraid when Russia issues a warning about the closure of the sky over the Black Sea for the duration of the NWO for the flight of NATO reconnaissance aircraft. The distance should not allow reconnaissance. And those who violated the ban will be shot down by reconnaissance aircraft ...
      This will be fear ... And to shoot down specifically reconnaissance aircraft ...

          Well, then within 5-6 hours the population of the Earth will be reduced by 4-5 billion inhabitants. Only and everything.
          So it is necessary to shoot down the adversaries. And it is very necessary and for a very long time already.

        If they close the sky, then everyone must be shot down.
        But now they are flying with the transponder turned on, then they will say that they got lost. The GPS showed that we were flying over Africa.

      Only the date of the flight is not specified. This was a few days ago. On the Ukrainian resource they squealed with delight. I don’t remember exactly the date of the flight, but then near Sevastopol our fleet was attacked by glisters. This is from their submission. Apparently the glisters are British. One got tangled in the net, the other two were destroyed. This time the target of the scout was our fleet

          You need to fly close to the borders of the British Isles. And it is desirable TU-160 and ships with hypersonic weapons, such as Gorshkov, to go around. Arrogance must be knocked down from the "crowned" hoopoes ... .... Planted backwards in the mud.

            Gorshkov in such a campaign is a kamikaze. The campaign of an individual ship (or 3-4 ships, one of which is a tug) is a laughing stock, and Russia will not form a normal squadron (from all fleets) (although its fate will not be much better). The Tu-160 will be escorted by the Baltic.

            Those. all this can be done, but ... the British and others do not just fly and annoy, they conduct reconnaissance in the interests of one of the parties to the conflict. And we cannot prevent this.

    The distance between Sevastopol and London in a straight line is 2593 km. Have the impudent shaves felt like an empire again?
    All the same, we must end with an incomprehensible status - CBO. It's time to call things by their proper names and declare the appropriate legal status for everything that happens. Then you can officially establish no-fly zones and shoot down violators.

      The legal status of a no-fly zone is in no way related to the status of a NWO, and shooting down a foreign aircraft in such a zone does not confer any legal immunity. Unless, of course, such a zone was declared by the UN Security Council.

    The policy of "Leopold's cat" will never lead to victory, they will only become impudent and increase pressure, and single, ostentatious actions such as destroying a drone are done only for their own people, in order to show that they at least somehow react to the impudent actions of the West, this is of practical importance the action does not have any, the next day there probably flew another.
    Enemy reconnaissance shines through all the military structures of the Russian Federation, and the Defense Ministry is doing nothing to correct the situation.

    I noticed them too. Only if they flew with transponders turned off, they would not be displayed on the site. At the same time, a British tanker aircraft was circling over southeastern Romania. As always, the British are more provocative. Typically, an RC-135 aircraft runs back and forth for hours on the same trajectory. It is beyond the strength of the fighters to escort all the time. There just isn't enough fuel.
