🚨 Breaking News | U.S. Surveillance Drone FORTE10 Conducts High-Altitude Reconnaissance Near Russian Border

📍 Baltic Region – July 18, 2025

A U.S. Air Force RQ-4 Global Hawk, operating under the callsign FORTE10, was tracked conducting a long-range intelligence-gathering mission across Eastern Europe, flying at high altitude near the borders of northwestern Russia.

Flight data shows the drone entered the Baltic airspace via Romania, crossing over Slovakia, Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia, before performing tight surveillance loops over Estonia, just kilometers from St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Oblast — a region home to several key Russian military installations.

While the drone remained in NATO-controlled airspace, its proximity to Russian territory signals a heightened Western focus on monitoring Russian military activity amid escalating regional tensions.
