Comment
001071, but of course ! Flying from occupied Cyprus to guard the Aegean coast but not without first flying to Mykolaiv in Ukraine first. Don't ask, no idea either.While I do not doubt there's TB2s in Ukraine -- we saw them being tested at Keşan -- they are flown there, they do not fly there themselves, obviously.
@ 15:50 UTC : A visibly angry 001071 scratching the Turkish skies. Now it's being reported as having taken off from Mykolaiv. I'd be miffed too. And 200 knots ? A bit rich.
