NATO reconnaissance aircraft trying to verify destruction of Admiral Makarov frigate

Boeing E-3A Sentry airborne early warning and control aircraft “cautiously peeked” into the Black Sea, and a US Air Force drone made more than one circle over the possible site of the Russian Admiral Makarov frigate destruction.

Spy planes and a UAV from NATO conducted reconnaissance in the area where the Russian frigate Admiral Makarov had been ​​possibly hit by Ukrainian Neptune missiles. Defense News writes  about this, citing the Flightradar.

The reconnaissance was carried out by two Boeing E-3A Sentry airborne early warning and control aircraft, one Boeing RC-135W aircraft and an RQ-4 Global Hawk UAV.

According to Defense News, the Boeing E-3A Sentry only “cautiously peeked” into the Black Sea while the RC-135W and RQ-4 Global Hawk flew directly over it.

The drone made more than a circle. A similar activity of the RQ-4 Global Hawk was after the destruction of the Moskva missile cruiser – a spy drone flew into the Black Sea on the second day.

We will remind you that on May 6, the Dumskaya wrote about the destruction of a frigate near Zmiinyi Island, aircraft and other ships of the Russian Federation, which were sent from Crimea, could be seen there.

The Turkish channel TRT Haber later published a video from a UAV, which supposedly recorded the Admiral Makarov frigate after it was hit by a Neptune missile.
