Earlier today, eight ISR aircraft from the US, UK and Sweden flew over the Baltics, Ukraine, & the North & Celtic Seas: USN P-8A (PK249); US Army ARTEMIS (BRIO68); USAF RQ-4 (FORTE12); USAF RC-135W (JAKE11) Swedish S102B & S100D (SVF623, C604); RAF P-8As (RFR7041, RFR7040). 1/6

This is the second RQ-4 flight to make this pattern in the last week, making use of the same airframe. There is a possibility that we will see the return of the daily RQ-4 flights over and around Ukraine. 2/6

All of the approximate unit locations reported by @konrad_muzyka are covered by the line-of-sight range of the RQ-4, giving us a better idea of what she's focusing on.

A second P-8A, TALON69 (168756 #AE6892), landed at RAF Lossiemouth, UK, possibly to prepare for more regular flights in the area. Moving from Keflavík to Lossiemouth cuts down on the time spent getting on site. 4/6
