An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) belonging to the United States was spotted near the Russian borders in the Black Sea. About this "Tape.<url>" became known from the data of the air travel tracking portal Flightradar .

In particular, it was recorded that the NATO strategic reconnaissance drone RQ-4 Global Hawk on the night of Friday, July 15, took off from an American military airbase on the Italian island of Sicily and is currently located near the Crimea from about 2:00 Moscow time.

In addition, an AgustaWestland AW139 multi-purpose helicopter belonging to Turkey moved out and returned back several times towards the UAV.

On July 13, it was reported that on the day of the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Kherson region, several NATO aircraft were lifted into the sky from the American HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems. So, the RQ-4 Global Hawk drone was over the Black Sea from 4:00 to 22:00 Moscow Time — approximately until the first reports of an impact on objects in Novaya Kakhovka were received.

In February, the American edition of The Drive listed eleven models of aircraft and drones of NATO countries that regularly spy on Russia. Among them was the RQ-4 Global Hawk — it is equipped with a set of electro-optical, radar and electronic data acquisition systems optimized for operation from a high altitude.
