The aircraft departed from Sakhir air base in Bahrain at approximately 3:30 GMT. After circling Qatar from the Persian Gulf side, it turned south and headed toward the United Arab Emirates. Upon reaching land, the reconnaissance plane flew over the territories of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Oman, frequently performing circling maneuvers. The aircraft periodically disappeared from radar, likely due to its transponders being switched off. The aircraft returned to the base in Bahrain via the same route at approximately 10:30 GMT, having spent roughly nine hours in the skies over the Middle East.
