Russian fighter jet drives NATO reconnaissance aircraft away from Crimea
CrimeaPRESS reports:
One. Three.
After a long break, NATO aircraft have reappeared over the Black Sea, hovering at a safe distance from the Crimean coast. The reconnaissance aircraft’s maneuver is understandable, but their presence is unacceptable (for more on this topic, see HERE).
Next is the official one message Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation:
Russian airspace control systems over the Black Sea detected air targets approaching the State Border of the Russian Federation. In order to prevent violation of the State Border of the Russian Federation, a Su-27 fighter from the air defense forces on duty was scrambled into the air.
The crew of the Russian fighter identified the air targets as a strategic reconnaissance aircraft RC-135 and two Typhoon fighters of the British Air Force.
As the Russian fighter approached, the foreign military aircraft turned away from the State Border of the Russian Federation. The Russian aircraft returned safely to its base airfield. No violation of the State Border of the Russian Federation was committed.
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 and dangerously approaching aircraft of a foreign state.
For the «land forces»: the impudent NATO guys (in this case, not drones, by any means, but a very «solid» Boeing RC-135W Rivet Joint electronic reconnaissance aircraft of the Royal Armed Forces of Great Britain, accompanied by two fighters Here they are, the lovebirds (see infographic). In today’s information-digital world, it is impossible to go unnoticed:
The British did not enter Russian airspace. BUT! As they say, they answered for their intentions. Our fighter quickly flew towards the enemies and did not let them go on course. What to do? Run into conflict? With this «reckless Russian»?! The brave British bravely turned around and went home.
About funny. Reconnaissance failed? But you can try. No less brave American reconnaissance aircraft — «Poseidon» also decided to observe Crimea today… But pay attention to where from! From the airspace of Bulgaria and Romania.
P.S. We are really looking forward to the video from the Russian Ministry of Defense.
