An American "MQ-4C Triton" drone conducted intensive surveillance operations off the coast of Libya on Sunday, the Italian tracking website Itamil Radar reports.
According to the website, the drone, identified as "BLACKCAT6," executed a series of complex flight patterns over the Mediterranean Sea, specifically off the coasts of Tripoli and Misrata.
The data documented the drone flying at an altitude of 48,100 feet with a ground speed of 247 knots, performing loop patterns indicative of a systematic scan of a wide area, likely related to intelligence gathering.
It may be worth noting that the "MQ-4C Triton" drone, which recently entered the Mediterranean region, operates at high altitudes, has long endurance, and is primarily used for surveillance and reconnaissance missions.
