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 - jalopnik.com/a-spotters-guide...

Oh how I wish my Dad was still alive to sit in this aircraft ... 32 years Naval officer (Aviation Combat Specialist)... He'd be on the edge of his seat for sure. RIP Dad I'm sure you do see it 🙏🇺🇸💪🇺🇸🙏

I don't know too much about these planes, but I do know I sleep better at night knowing these folks are on it.

U2's were built by Lockheed Martin. We also brought you the F-117 and the F-35 to help America and the world stay safe from countries that would do us harm.

Can’t believe that the engineering after ww2 is so good it still exists in this modern world, the engineers and design teams were truly ahead of time in those days. Well done guys.

My father was stationed at RAF Upper Heyford from 1960-1962. Our house on base was on the outskirts of this huge open field which the U2s used as an approach for landing on the runway the distant side beyond a road. I can still vaguely remember waving at the pilots as the planes lazily flew low over the field .. close enough you could see the colors on the helmets and even had a pilot wave back once. That was 1961 .. over 60 years ago.
