British reconnaissance aircraft operates over the Black Sea

Russian Sputnik News, Washington, February 10 - According to Sputnik News citing flight data, a British Royal Air Force Boeing RC-135W "Joint Rivet" reconnaissance aircraft flew over the Black Sea on February 9.

The flight path indicates that the aircraft departed from the Waddington base in the UK, flew across Europe to the Black Sea, lingered between the Crimean Peninsula and Sochi, and then returned.

In recent years, Russia has repeatedly pointed out that NATO is conducting "unprecedented" activities near Russia's western border, expanding initiatives and calling them "containing Russian aggression." The Kremlin has also repeatedly expressed concerns about NATO's expansion of forces in Europe. The Kremlin stated that Russia does not pose a threat but will not ignore actions that threaten Russia.
