Two Airbus A330 MRTT refueling aircraft operated over the western Black Sea, indicating ongoing military operations. One belongs to the French Air Force and the other to NATO's Multinational MRTT Fleet. Their flight paths suggest they were refueling fighter jets not visible on public flight tracking platforms. This mission followed NATO's Steadfast Noon exercise, highlighting the importance of tanker aircraft for the Alliance's activities in the region. The presence of both national and multinational aircraft demonstrates NATO's operational capabilities on the eastern flank. The absence of visible fighter jets on tracking sites is typical for military operations, as they may not transmit position data publicly.
