Just putting them closer then, but they have been operating there from Germany, as well as Turkey, means they'll have longer in the air monitoring, without the extra flight time from their bases.Slava Ukraini.

Dunno how true that is.

They've been doing it all along, but the aircraft operating from their home bases which means less time monitoring as they were flying 2 hours before they could start, and 2 hours on the way back, some can be refueled in the air (not sure if they can though), but there's often US/UK/NATO tankers operating over Romania/Poland/Baltic States.
All are free to view on flightradar24, so not sensitive information, just need to know what look for.

There's actually 2, the other one seemed to originate over the North Sea (but probably Geilenkirchen - and probably monitoring russian ship/subs which are often in the North Sea).
There's also a Swedish jet monitoring over Poland (SVF645).
