A British reconnaissance aircraft flies over the Black Sea: shall we express concern?

The British reconnaissance aircraft Boeing RC-135W Rivet Joint winds circles over the Black Sea. This is reported by RIA Novosti based on the analysis of flight data.

The plane took off from the Waddington base in England, flew over Romania and flew to the eastern part of the Black Sea. After that, he turned around and made a loop in a westerly direction. As of 18.40 Moscow time, the plane is flying east again.

The last similar flight took place on April 10, and this does not cause any activity on the part of the Russian Aerospace Forces or even the Russian Foreign Ministry. Although usually after such flights, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launch targeted strikes on Russian cities and military bases.

Moscow has repeatedly expressed concern about the buildup of forces of the military-political bloc in Europe. The Kremlin repeats every time that Russia does not threaten anyone, but will not ignore actions that are potentially dangerous to its interests. However, no visible consequences occur.
