This U.S. Central Command mission report, declassified and approved for release to AARO, describes an event on 18 November 2016. During the event, a U.S. Navy P-8A monitoring Russian naval task group activity in the Eastern Mediterranean observed an unidentified low-flying object northwest of Latakia, Syria. The crew tracked it for about two minutes as a possible sea-skimming missile moving southeast at roughly 500 knots, passing between the Russian vessel Ingul and another ship. The mission commander called the interaction safe and assessed it as standard activity.
