According to Plane Radar data, the plane took off from the Sigonella air base on the Italian island of Sicily and for nearly an hour flew over the Mediterranean coast of Syria, occasionally approaching the Hmeimim base and the Russian Navy's logistics base. The flight took place at an altitude of 4.7 km.
Recently, the activity of foreign reconnaissance aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) near Russia's borders has increased, for example, foreign reconnaissance aircraft have been observed in the Crimean Peninsula and Krasnodar Territory as well as over the Baltic Sea./.
