US surveillance aircraft monitor Libyan coast
Two US surveillance aircraft have been spotted conducting intelligence operations off the Libyan coast.
Tracking data published by ItaMilRadar, a military flight monitoring platform, showed a US Navy Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton operating from the Sigonella Air Base in Sicily. The high-endurance drone patrolled airspace near Libya's western border and the capital Tripoli.
A second aircraft, a Bombardier Challenger 650 Artemis, took off from Constanța, Romania, and performed multiple reconnaissance loops between Tripoli and Misrata.
The jet is equipped for advanced signals intelligence and is capable of intercepting and analyzing electronic transmissions. News Tagged: ItaMilRadar
