It could well be that we have another run of a UK RAF RC-135 Rivet Joint (Airseeker) into the Black Sea.

Since the incident of a Russian Fighter almost shooting one down, these missions will usually feature a fighter cover by a NATO state.

Die Annahme ist, dass es teuer ist, ist ggf falsch.
Wenn die zu 30% der Gestehungskosten arbeiten, und das in zig Projekten so machen, rentiert es sich, wenn einzelne Projekte zurΓΌck gezahlt werden mΓΌssen.

This is unprecedented activity, especially for a Friday afternoon.
We have four confirmed aerial refueling areas across the North Sea, Northern Germany, Poland, Baltic Ocean and Baltics.

There is significant presence of Anti Submarine and ISR units, multiple CAP likely active.

Ukrainian AN-72 Coaler directly flying into polish Airspace.
Notice that he ways flying at FL200 in Ukraine. This means that Russia has no way to touch it there.
Possibly from the Ivano-Frankivsk area.

VERY unusual.

- Russia and associated assets (Iran, Gaza-Paliban, Houthi, Agents in Europe) will likely increase activities inside europe, possibly including terrorist attacks and attacks on critical infrastructure.

- A military occupation of Transdjnestr after Sunday seems very likely, possibly by Ukrainian Forces called in by Moldovan Government, who lack own military abilities.
- Russia will likely respond with their information warfare assets framing this as escalation by "NATO/UKRAINE/EU".

- An outbreak of "paramilitary" hostilities on Sunday or Monday is very likely.
- Hybrid war activities are likely going to continue at least until Sunday.
- Depending on the Sunday night situation, we may see an even further increase of RU hybrid war against EU if the coup fails, or is beaten back

Summary of Hypothesis on this week, it can be VERY escalatory, let me explain:

Current events are NOT going to slow down until Sunday.
Sunday is the election of Moldova, one that Russia heavily tried to influence with intelligence operations.

We also analyze IF they could have been shot down, given the "robust" Doctrine in place now.

Attention Spotters/OSINT:

The German Army will conduct very low level helicopter operations in the area marked red between the 8th and 10th of July, down to 3m AGL.
The German Air Force will conduct Eurofighter/Tornado operations in the area marked purple during the same times, down to 150m AGL.

The overall mission will take close to 30 hours, and span almost 15.000 nautical miles.

What an incredible performance by the crews.

The Mission over Fordow will have likely taken place approximately 15 hours after the take-off.
Take-Off at Whiteman AB is calculated to have occured around 08:10Z on the 21st, landing is calculated to happen around 13:40Z on the 22nd.

Detailed times are visible in the second picture.

Unpacking the detailed timeline of the Fordow Strike using the actual attack time:

We can calculate backwards to establish the timeline from the known strike time, 02:00 AM Local or 23:00Z, and derive a likely timeline.
