“NATO aviation is operating in the Black Sea again. At these moments, an American Boeing P-8A Poseidon is operating over Romania,” the publication says.
According to Military Chronicle, such an aircraft is equipped with a long-focus television module with optical magnification several times, a laser rangefinder with a measurement range of 30 km and an infrared sensor.
It is noted that in favorable weather conditions, the optical sensor is capable of classifying objects on the surface at a distance of at least 70 km.
On January 31, Military Chronicle reported that the appearance of an Italian Air Force long-range radar detection and electronic reconnaissance aircraft was recorded in the area of the Crimean Peninsula.
