RT @Gerjon_: Note that the position and altitude data of #FORTE12 over 🇺🇦Ukraine are currently likely incorrect because a second aircraft is currently using the same Mode-S code 000001. https://t.co/zaA3G8z06q

RT @hdevreij: #FORTE12, a USAF RQ-4B Global Hawk UAV has been monitoring southern Russia, Crimea, the Black Sea etc.. No other drones flying at high altitudes currently 'visible'. https://t.co/gLnpjELm8Q https://t.co/SQLX47QVl8

RT @Gerjon_: I wonder what this is about - a USAF RQ-4 Global Hawk UAV (#AE5420/#FORTE12) just disappeared over 🇬🇷Greece at 12,000 ft at 20:14 UTC, 20 hours into a Black Sea mission, on the way back home.

(note that RQ-4s switch off their Mode-S transponders sometimes-then we can't see them) https://t.co/0wmj6VVX2z https://t.co/cAiR2FIvTo
USAF (🇺🇸) RQ-4B Global Hawk up at an unusually low altitude above Greece (🇬🇷) after orbiting above the Black Sea.

The Global Hawk usually returns at an altitude of ~50k ft, but Flightradar24 shows an altitude of ~10k ft after it descended above the Aegean sea. https://t.co/rjn5kclpsK - Aerospace Intelligence
