NATO to Add Patrol Aircraft, Radar and Drones for Black Sea Surveillance

NATO says it will send additional assets to the Black Sea region to support surveillance, reconnaissance and forensics. The NATO spokesperson’s post on X, formerly Twitter, described the planned support in those terms.

A statement attributed to US Army Colonel Martin Martin L. O’Donnell says allies “have or will send” maritime patrol aircraft, radar systems, explosive exploitation teams, intelligence personnel and drones to the Black Sea. The statement also refers to additional assets beyond those named.
