ItaMilRadar: Italian surveillance aircraft conducted patrols off eastern Libya
The Italian website ItaMilRadar reported 'unusual activity' in the central Mediterranean region, noting the detection of an Italian Air Force reconnaissance aircraft off the coast of eastern Libya. The website said that new patrol missions were conducted on Saturday in the central Mediterranean, marking the third such flight observed by the Italian Air Force in recent days. It noted that an ATR-72A aircraft carried out a patrol mission lasting nearly six hours in the area. The Italian website, which specializes in monitoring military activity in the Mediterranean, said the latest Italian patrol focused on the coastline off eastern Libya. While the full flight path was not entirely visible, the website's data indicated that the aircraft operated primarily between the cities of Al-Bayda and Tobruk, before heading to the Greek island of Crete and then returning to Italy's Souda Air Base. Earlier on Saturday morning, before the Italian ATR-72A departed from Souda, a US Navy Boeing P-8A aircraft completed a wide orbital pattern southwest of Crete, followed by a standard surveillance mission off the coast of Syria.

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
