Their mission is entirely secret, but these jets have been flying daily from RAF Fairford for many months, often two aircraft a day under the callsign BLACK. Missions last all day, as can be seen in this video. The video was shot in March 2022

However, it's no secret that USAF and RAF RC-135s have been flying daily missions from RAF Mildenhall (using the callsign JAKE) and RAF Waddington (using the callsign ASCOT). The RC-135 missions have been augmented by NATO E-3 Sentry AWACS aircraft flying from Geilenkirchen Air Base in Germany. These flights can be openly tracked on various websites such as adsbexchange.com.

Throughout the war in Ukraine, surveillance and intelligence gathering has been continuing at pace as Putin fails to make advances in the country. Every single move Putin is making is being tracked, monitored and recorded by the west. I’ve said it before, but Putin does not stand a chance. These guys will see to that.

For those familiar with my channel, you'll have seen other videos of these fantastic aircraft, complete with various pods and sensors. The U-2 is THE Swiss army knife of reconnaissance. There is a great article on the various modular fittings for the U-2 that can be found here - https://jalopnik.com/a-spotters-guide...
