🇷🇺 🇬🇧 Russian MOD footage of the interception of British Air Force aircrafts over the Black Sea

Russian airspace control systems over the Black Sea detected air targets approaching the State border of the Russian Federation. In order to prevent violation of the State Border of the Russian Federation, a Su-27 fighter from the air defense forces on duty was scrambled into the air. The Russian fighter crew identified the air targets as an RC-135 strategic reconnaissance aircraft and two RAF Typhoon fighters. As the Russian fighter approached, foreign military aircraft made a turn from the State border of the Russian Federation. The Russian plane returned safely to its home airfield. There was no violation of the State Border of the Russian Federation. The flight of the Russian fighter was carried out in strict accordance with international rules for the use of airspace over neutral waters, without crossing air routes or dangerously approaching aircraft of a foreign state.
