There is a new surveillance aircraft operating in Baltics.
N144FF / A54ED7 of Cae Aviation is watching Kaliningrad and east Russia / Belarus since the start of the month.
Missions over the last months: France, Israel/Lebanon, Med. See next post.
According to their web a global defence contractor who in their own words:
"When the call for action comes, we are here to support your critical missions"
CAE seem quite focused on training. New crews for coming SAAB Erieye-deliveries? Live action b/c tired air forces?
The airplane used to be owned by Swedish defence company SAAB and planespotters list it as being in a "Maritime Surveillance" configuration.

Follow along yourself on this link, which is also where I got the tracks: globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a54ed7&l…
It seems to be operating under French Air Force. Odd to be doing military business in a plane that at least on public tracker look both private and from another country.
