[Regnum] The Russian Defense Ministry has published footage of a Su-27 fighter jet escorting British RC-135 and Typhoon military aircraft over the Black Sea. The video was posted on the military department's Telegram channel. As previously reported by the Regnum news agency, the Su-27 prevented three British Air Force aircraft from violating the Russian Federation's state border over the Black Sea. The Ministry of Defense noted that airspace control systems detected approaching air targets, and a Su-27 fighter was scrambled to prevent a violation of the state border. The crew identified the targets as a strategic reconnaissance aircraft RC-135 and two Typhoon fighters of the British Air Force. As the Russian fighter approached, the British aircraft turned away from the Russian border. After that, the Su-27 safely returned to its base airfield. |
