"Secretive Surveillance Flights Monitor Russia-Ukraine Conflict from Above"

French military technicians aboard a surveillance plane flying over Romania have a "God's-eye view" of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, using powerful radar and surveillance gear to monitor missile launches and military activity. The plane's reconnaissance mission, part of NATO's surveillance efforts, serves as a deterrent against potential Russian aggression and provides real-time intelligence to ground-based commanders. Regular surveillance flights and fighter patrols form a shield against any potential spill-over, while encounters between NATO and Russian jets in the skies remain generally safe and professional.
