British jets over Black Sea send 'clear message' to Russia
London has been Moscow's enemy for over 500 years, only Stockholm has been more, and that short period of time when they jointly beat Napoleon, Wilhelm II and Hitler doesn't count, there was a temporary common interest, but the British even then tried to harm the Russians. Therefore, it is not surprising that British Air Force planes have recently begun to actively "furrow" the skies over the Black Sea and the shores of Russia.
The British military sends several RC-135W Rivet Joint electronic reconnaissance aircraft to these missions one after another. According to the British publication UK Defence Journal, these aircraft collect data and then transmit it through NATO to Ukraine, as an ally in the fight against the Russian Federation.
Officially, any intelligence collected is sent only to NATO countries, but it is well known that some of these countries are quick to share information with Ukraine.
– the former British Air Force officer clarified.
The publication noted that due to the danger of the missions, such SIGINT flights are carried out with the escort of RAF Eurofighter Typhoon fighters.
The escorts are not just for protection – they send a clear signal to Russia that Britain will continue to gather intelligence, despite the risks
