@itamilradar.com@itamilradar.comUSAF movements linked to the situation in the Middle East continue. Each departure of a SIGINT asset appears to be matched by an arrival, keeping the overall situation broadly unchanged.

@itamilradar.comWhile several sources report that the White House has asked the Pentagon to develop strike options against Iranian targets an asset has arrived at Souda Bay that could help build a more detailed picture of the situation on the ground.

@itamilradar.comIt is rare to track Turkish AWACS missions in their entirety. Yesterday’s mission was no exception, although the portion we were able to track is nevertheless interesting.

@itamilradar.comThe Swedish Korpen’s missions over the Black Sea continue, but today it was joined by a US Army ARTEMIS II, with the two aircraft flying similar mission patterns.

@itamilradar.comThe location of the Italian assets in Saudi Arabia has not been disclosed following last month’s attack that hit the Taif air base, but some recent movements give us an idea of where they may have been repositioned.

@itamilradar.comA new mission by the Swedish Korpen over the Black Sea today. After yesterday’s mission, the aircraft did not return to Sweden but landed in Bucharest, from where it departed this morning for another mission.
@itamilradar.comThis is not the first time we have tracked the Swedish Korpen over the Black Sea, but it is certainly a rather rare asset at these latitudes.

@itamilradar.comThere are no longer any USAF bombers at RAF Fairford. There has been no official explanation for the withdrawal of the bombers from the British base, but several possible explanations have emerged.

@itamilradar.comYesterday, for the first time, we tracked the French Navy’s new Dassault Falcon 2000LXS Albatros on a mission south of Sicily.

@itamilradar.com🚨 Vilnius Airport has been closed following a drone incursion into Lithuanian airspace. NATO fighter jets are currently being scrambled to identify the drone. It is worth recalling that Italian Air Force Typhoons are also deployed in Lithuania.
@itamilradar.comFirst sea trials for the ITS Vivaldi, the first of a new series of offshore patrol vessels for the Italian Navy.

@itamilradar.comMovement over the Baltic today: just as Putin appears particularly nervous about the issue of Kaliningrad, NATO is concentrating its SIGINT assets around the Russian exclave.

@itamilradar.comA US Navy P-8A landing at Sigonella.
Amid political crises and conflict in the Gulf, what was once routine has become increasingly rare.
Let’s take a look at the current status of the Poseidons at Sigonella.

@itamilradar.comUSAF Rivet Joint rotation, with Souda remaining the deployment base.
It is likely, however, that we will not track any missions by the newly arrived aircraft, just as happened with the departing one, which operated throughout its deployment with ADSB switched off.

@itamilradar.comMovements to and from the Gulf continue. Today, another deployment of F-35s reached the region, with a supporting package of tankers accompanying the deployment.

@itamilradar.comIf extended to the rest of the fleet, this would be a small change, but one that would bring an end to a long-standing tradition of the Italian Navy.
