According to data collected by the agency, the UAV took off from an airbase in Italy and headed towards the border in Donbass. After that, the UAV flew along the Russian Black Sea coast.
Recently, foreign reconnaissance aircraft and UAVs have increased their activities near Russia's borders and military facilities. Foreign military aircraft regularly appear over the Baltic Sea, in Crimea and the Krasnodar region, as well as near Russian bases in Syria.
Recently, in the Russian border area, flights were recorded not only of American spy planes, but also of Boeing B-52H nuclear strategic bombers.
The Russian Defense Ministry has called on Washington to end such reconnaissance activities, but the Pentagon has refused.
