MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Two Russian Su-27 fighters intercepted a group of French military aircraft over the Black Sea and escorted them until they flew away from Russia’s borders, the Russian Defense Ministry’s National Defence Control Centre (NDCC) told reporters.
According to the centre, on February 17, Russian radar stations detected air targets approaching the Russian state border over neutral waters of the Black Sea.
The centre added that after the turn of foreign military aircraft from the border, Russian fighters returned to the home base.
“No violations of the Russian state border were allowed,” the military said.
The NDCC noted that the flight of Russian aircraft had been carried out in strict accordance with international rules for the use of airspace.
