CrimeaPRESS reports:
Like the day before – overflight of military aircraft of NATO countries over the Black Sea. Just like the day before, uninvited guests had to be driven away from our State Border. The only difference is that yesterday it was the French, and today it is the British.
On March 6, Russian airspace control systems over the Black Sea detected three air targets approaching the State border of the Russian Federation. To prevent violation of the State Border of the Russian Federation, a Su-30 fighter from the air defense forces on duty was scrambled into the air.
The Russian fighter crew identified the air targets as an RC-135 electronic reconnaissance and electronic warfare aircraft and two RAF Typhoon multi-role fighters. When a Russian fighter approached, foreign military aircraft made a turn from the State border of the Russian Federation— reported the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The Russian plane returned safely to its home airfield. There was no violation of the State Border of the Russian Federation. The military department emphasized:
The flight of the Russian fighter was carried out in strict accordance with international rules for the use of airspace over neutral waters, without crossing air routes or dangerously approaching aircraft of a foreign state.
