NATO Warplanes Crowd The Black Sea As Russian Troops Surround Ukraine


Dangerous sorties NATO warplanes crowd the black sea as russian troops surround ukraine, war begin. The united states and france are surging some of their best surveillance aircraft into the black sea region as russia masses forces for a possible invasion of ukraine in coming weeks or months. The separate deployments of u.s air force RC-135, u.s army artemis and french air force mirage 2000 aircraft underscore the seriousness of the situation in ukraine.

As more russian troops and tanks mass along ukraine's borders, more nato planes are crowding the black sea in order to keep tabs on the russians. NATO routinely flies surveillance aircraft along russia's borders but alliance air ops are intensifying over the black sea, according to russia's federal air transport agency.

The increased intensity of nato aircraft flights near the borders of the russian federation. creates the risk of dangerous incidents in relation to civil aircraft, the agency claimed. USAF RC-135V WS 4-engine heavies with sophisticated electronic receivers for locating enemy radars are frequent visitors to the black sea.

Suhoy fighters from russia's southern military district flew out to meet RC-135s in international airspace over the black sea on december 3rd and again five days later. On december 3rd and december 8, Su-27 and Su-30 fighters also tailed aus army artemis. A prototype twin jet with an underslung radar that can pinpoint ground vehicles.

The army is expanding its fleet of ground surveillance aircraft with new artemises as well as recently retired royal air force sentinels. The new and used planes could help the army to compensate for any gaps in coverage as the u.s air force steadily shrinks its own fleet of aging E-8 ground surveillance aircraft. the pentagon seems to be coordinating the rRC-135 and artemis sorties. That makes sense the RC-135 is best for spotting enemy forces via their electronic emissions.

The artemis spots them on radar by overlaying data from both planes, intelligence analysts can paint a comprehensive picture of russian deployments. Where are the tanks which air defenses are protecting them the french air force flew its own electronic intelligence sortie over the black sea on december 8th, drawing the attention of russian Su-27s. The russians met the mirage 2000D and an escorting rafale fighter while they were refueling from a french air force a 330 tanker.

After the foreign warplanes made a u-turn from russia's state border, the russian fighter jets safely returned to their home airfield, the russian air force told state media. Look closely at the videos the russian pilots shot. The mirage is clutching a pod under its belly, that's an analyzer super heterodyne tactic or ASTAC system.

A potted suite of electronic receivers that's similar but smaller in scale to the RC-135s own receiver suite. Another means of pinpointing enemy sensors, there's an important distinction between the RC-135 and the mirage with its astac pod. The RC-135 is a big slow unarmed plane. The mirage by contrast is a supersonic fighter that can carry air-to-air missiles in addition to the ASTAC Pod.

While the RC-135 is probably a better surveiller during peacetime, it's too vulnerable to deploy near enemy air defenses during wartime. The mirage however can fight its way toward and back from enemy territory. The french and u.s governments both have warned moscow that an attack on ukraine could lead to serious consequences.

In particular potentially devastating economic sanctions. If russia ignores the warnings and invades the black sea could become too dangerous for rc 135 sorties. But the mirage sorties just might continue helping nato to track the russian army as it rolls west.
