In a televised briefing, Sergey Naryshkin, head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, commented on what Moscow portrays as intensified U.S. activity around the Black Sea. He argued that Washington leverages every available tool for intelligence gathering, spanning space-based assets, satellite imagery, and electronic signals. The remarks were linked to a broadcast tied to Pavel Zarubin on the Moscow Kremlin channel, underscoring the ongoing friction over maritime reconnaissance in the region. Naryshkin emphasized that American capabilities extend across multiple domains and suggested that U.S. teams have been conducting targeted reconnaissance operations in the Black Sea area. This assessment follows a recent drone incident involving an MQ-9 Reaper in these waters.
