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

ISR Sync matrix for 2022-02-22 covering all spotted flights up until the current time, with daylight represented as a light gray bar on each line. I tried a slight adjustment on the style, based on received feedback. 3/8

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 Image
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.

Earlier today, five ISR aircraft from the US, Sweden, and Ukraine flew over the Baltics, Ukraine, and the North Sea: USN P-8A (PK22x), US Army RC-12X (YANK01, YANK02), Ukrainian TB2 (1235678), Swedish S100D (SVF604). 1/3 Image
The Ukrainian TB2 briefly transmitted (~12 minutes) along the Crimean border, tracking west back to Mykolaiv. It is possible, based on prior flights, that she spent some time over the Donbas region. 2/3
