NATO plans to deploy more aircraft and drone systems to the Black Sea. Maritime patrol aircraft and radar systems are among the equipment the alliance announced. Unmanned aircraft will also be sent to the region. The move came after a series of deadly drone attacks against ships. NATO said the attacks appear connected with Russia’s war against Ukraine. The announcement did not identify the vessels or the dates of the attacks, and it did not publicly assign responsibility. The available account also did not specify how many aircraft would be sent or how long the deployment would last. The move places more NATO surveillance equipment in the Black Sea following attacks on maritime traffic.
