After several months of absence, we have tracked a new mission by an Italian Air Force CAEW over the Black Sea.
(thanks to @lnteISky for clarifying the aircraft’s registration. Today, due to the unusual use of a different ICAO hex code — 33FDCA instead of the usual 33FDC2 — the registration is not reported by the main flight-tracking websites)

“There is no, and I’ll be very clear about this, there is no plan for the Army to procure the contracted assets that we have today,”
The ARTEMIS, ARES and ATHENA jets will remain contractor-owned and operated until the US Army transitions to its own six ME-11B Hades ISR bizjets.
The Army recently posted a notice that it plans to buy its contractor-operated ISR bizjet prototypes
Then it was abruptly taken down. A top intel official says it created confusion. So what's going on & what's next for Army airborne intel

Earlier today, the first GlobalEye bizjet for Sweden was unveiled.

Sweden's first GlobalEye. Unveiled.
Own the advantage.

Some minor, but notable differences between the UAE #GlobalEye and the Swedish example. The SAF aircraft lack the electro-optical camera system and fairing and appear to have a slightly taller vertical fin above the horizontal stabiliser. UAEAF image is my shot. Others by Saab

After three months of maintenance, the Italian CAEW (reg. MM62293) is back in Italy.
And that’s good news.

RAAF Base Edinburgh has now received the final aircraft in Australia’s four-jet MC-55A Peregrine fleet.
The fourth aircraft, N542GD, arrived this afternoon operating as SAME90 and is expected to become A51-002.
It was ferried to Adelaide by a US crew via Hawaii and Fiji, taking a different delivery route to the previous three aircraft.
A significant milestone for No. 10 Squadron and the Peregrine program.

The Netherlands will buy a GlobalEye jet.
In addition to NATO's shared fleet, the country wants its own AEW&C for independent deployments. The modified @Bombardier Global 6500 will join Sweden's 3 GlobalEye jets in a joint pool, giving Dutch and Swedish crews…

… shared access to the available AEW&C bizjets.
The Dutch jet is expected to be delivered in 2031. From 2028, the Netherlands will already have access to the Swedish jets for training and deployments.

Republic of Singapore Air Force Gulfstream G550-AEW (016) returning to Darwin after an afternoon sortie during Exercise Pitch Black 2026.
The harsh afternoon sun and significant heat haze made this a challenging aircraft to photograph, but seeing one of the RSAF's airborne early warning platforms in Australia is always a highlight. 🇸🇬✈️
