The Russian Defense Ministry announced that it had sent eight fighters to prevent the US Navy’s B-52 Stratofortress bombers from entering the country’s airspace.

According to Sputnik, the incident occurred over the Black Sea on September 4.

“In order to prevent US Air Force planes from entering Russian airspace, 4 Su-27 fighters and 4 Su-30 fighters from the southern military zone air defense forces have received orders for the Black Sea area and Sea of ​​Azov, “quoted a statement from the Defense Management Center of the Russian Federation.

Russian authorities confirmed that the country’s fighters comply with international regulations on the use of airspace. After the departure of the American “flying fortresses”, the eight Russian fighters returned to their safe bases.

On August 28, a similar incident occurred when two Su-27s (NATO designation “Flanker”) were dispatched to intercept B-52s in the Black Sea. The next day, the incident was repeated over the Baltic Sea, again involving long-range American bombers, capable of carrying nuclear bombs and dropping massive amounts of bombs and bombs to destroy targets.

The latest incident on September 4 occurred at exactly the same time that the US military began conducting drills in Estonia, less than 113 kilometers from the Russian border.
