Russian Fighter Su-27 Escorts French Spy Plane Over Baltic Sea, Military Says

Remarkably, since 2014, the US and its allies have intensified reconnaissance activities close to the Russian borders, particularly, over Baltic Sea airspace (near Kaliningrad) and the Black Sea.

Russian fighter Su-27 escorted a French reconnaissance aircraft approaching the borders of Russia in the skies over the Baltic Sea, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Thursday.

In order to identify an air target and prevent violation of the state border of the Russian Federation, a Su-27 fighter from the duty forces of the naval aviation and air defense of the Baltic Fleet was scrambled.

The military noted that there was no violation of the Russian state border, adding that the flight of the Russian fighter was carried out in strict compliance with international regulations.
