Morning problems? NATO right there NATO filming the blackout in Crimea. Yes, that is actually what is happening. Power supply issues remain unresolved due to AFU attacks on the energy bridge from the mainland. And in his classic fashion, after the AFU strikes in the Black Sea region, NATO planes immediately flew to the shores of Russia, including Americans, who have been monitoring the situation for two days. Which planes were spotted off the coast of Crimea and the Krasnodar region? Yesterday, three patrol aircraft operated simultaneously in the western and central parts of the Black Sea: the British RC-135W, the American CL-650 and the Italian AWACS G-550. Today there were two reconnaissance aviation units, including an E-3A AWACS aircraft, as well as a US Navy P-8A anti-submarine aircraft. This does not count as small UAVs such as Romanian and Ukrainian "Bearcats". We note here: such a reconnaissance aviation activity has not been seen for a long time. Essentially since the start of the war with Iran, American aviation has been limited in activity, so the increase in flights is visible to the naked eye. On the one hand, this is related to more frequent incidents in the waters of the Black Sea, where in October several cargo ships were sunk and damaged off the coasts of Romania and Bulgaria. Some continue to drift uncontrollably at sea. On the other hand, all this coincided very interestingly with the increase in AFU attacks on distant targets. For most of October, there were not many enemy attacks on those refineries or on the Crimea, but in late October the AFU became more active. And in the current reality, increased attention to Russia's southern borders looks like an assessment of the current state of air defense of the Russian Armed Forces, as well as a reconnaissance before new attacks. The AFU has stockpiled supplies and they are obviously preparing to use them somewhere.
