FORTE10 RQ-4B out of Sigonella is surveiling the Polish border with Kaliningrad. I don't remember seeing FORTE10 taking this route to get there. Its normal route has been through Romania and along the Ukrainian border.

A P-8A has joined the Black Sea party. The King Air and the ATR-72-600 appear to be mission complete. The P-8A should be able to stay for a while since it refueled right before entering the Black Sea.

MARTI40, a Turkish ATR-72-600TMPA is operating in the southern Black Sea. Lots of jamming it would appear because MARTI40 didn't fly across Crimea.

Interesting location for a Typhoon. The squawk pairs to YILO4200, ZK334, a Eurofighter Typhoon. This has occurred a few times before. Obviously a database issue. YILO4200 is actually a Chinese Wing Loong drone not a Typhoon.

A French A330-243 MRTT (multi role tanker transport) is operating off the Romanian coast over the Black Sea. Don't know who they're providing fuel to, but someone is out there with them.

King Air 350ER/ALSR is beginning its mission over the Black Sea. This is the second time in a week for this aircraft in this area. "This is a specific military (ISR) aircraft, also known as the "VADOR" by the French Air Force." This is most likely a French Aircraft.

US Navy MQ-4C 169804 has completed their mission over the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman. The MQ-4C was surveiling the area where Iran seized the Marshall Islands flagged oil tanker Talara. Appears to be quite a bit of jamming in the Strait as well.
