Today, at least 19 NATO and Swedish ISR aircraft flew sorties over Europe: USAF RQ-4s (2 FORTE12, FORTE11), RC-135W (JAKE12), RC-135U (HOMER39), U-2S (BLACK01); USN P-8As (4 PS23x, PS22x, PL23x); US Army RC-12X (YANK03), ARTEMIS (BRIO68); 1/9 
RAF RC-135W (RRR7218); Greek EMB-134H (OURAN31); NATO RQ-4 (UAVGH000), E-3A (NATO02); Swedish S102B (SVF622). 2/9
Today's ISR sync matrix shows distinct overlap across multiple platforms, in multiple regions. We see the RQ-4 coverage is nearly uninterrupted, with only an hour gap. 3/9
Today, at least 13 NATO ISR aircraft flew sorties over Europe: USN P-8As (4 PS21x, PS20x); USAF RQ-4 (FORTE11), E-8C (REDEYE6), RC-135U (HOMER19); US Army RC-12X (YANK01, YANK02), ARTEMIS (BRIO68); NATO RQ-4D (UAVGH000); German Navy P-3C (GNY4530). 1/5
Despite the P-8 activity in the Ionian Sea being regular these past few days, today was the first day I am including it due to recently hearing about Russian naval operations in the area.

Using this map from @lemonodor, we can look at what the RC-135U may be interested in; in this case, possible GPS interference.

Today, at least 7 US ISR aircraft flew sorties over Europe: US Army RC-12X (YANK01, YANK02), ARTEMIS (BRIO68); USAF RQ-4 (FORTE10), RC-135W (JAKE11), RC-135U (HOMER69), E-8C (REDEYE6). 1/6
There was also an eighth aircraft, another USAF RQ-4 with bogus hex #000001. This aircraft is flying over Greece at the time of posting. 2/6
I covered FORTE10's flight in yesterday's map, but it is worth noticing the similarity in location of the RQ-4 with the E-8C and RC-135W. With the distance it is flying from Kyiv, it's possible that this adjustment could be in response to nearby IADS.
