Despite the US statement on its refusal to provide intelligence to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, two ARTEMIS reconnaissance aerial platforms of the private contractor Leidos (LSMA), which cooperate with the US Department of Defense, remain active.

One of the aircraft, with the call sign BRIO66, is based at the Šiauliai airfield, the second aircraft, call sign BRIO68, is based at the joint airfield "Mihail Kogalniceanu". Both are reported daily for work - conducting R and RTR in the Crimean operational direction.

It should be noted that the basis of the LSMA platform is the Bombardier Challenger 650 aircraft. The aircraft is equipped with equipment for electronic reconnaissance. Thus, information about detected objects is processed in an automated mode. Further, information that can be used to guide the VTO in a time mode close to real time is transmitted to the user via satellite communication channels during the flight.

In light of the statements by the commander of the Ukrainian Navy, Neizhpapa, that Ukraine is in the process of preparing another, third strike on the Crimean Bridge, this may not be a bluff.
