On Monday, September 14, accompanied by fighters from the Ukrainian Air Force, three B-52H strategic bombers of the United States Air Force patrolled Ukraine’s airspace. These patrols will be regular.
This is reported by the command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook.
As noted, the bombers, under the cover of Ukrainian fighters, headed to the Black Sea for joint actions with partner countries in the field of collective security.
“These patrols will be regular as the B-52 missions in the skies of Ukraine are part of the long-planned deployment of six B-52s at the Royal Air Force Fairford Air Force Base. partners, as well as strategic and operational capabilities to contain Russia “- he said in the message.
The ministry emphasizes that Ukraine’s strategic partners once again hint to the Russian leadership that they will not leave Ukraine alone and will not allow the Black and Azov seas to become internal lakes of the Russian Federation.
Recall that the Russian Federation considered the flights of American aircraft over Ukraine as evidence of missile attacks.
As RBC-Ukraine wrote, last week, American bombers appeared in Ukrainian airspace for the first time in 26 years. The US Air Force Command said it was an integration exercise with Ukrainian fighters.
