Rosaviation: Ukraine intends to conduct rocket firing using the airspace of the Russian Federation
Here is the text published by “Rosaviation” - about the intentions of Ukraine:
The second danger zone is set 1 December 2016 of the year from 12: 30 to 14: 30 Moscow time and 2 December 2016 of the year from 11: 00 to 15: 00 Moscow time at all altitudes with airspace over the open sea in the area of responsibility of the Russian Federation (Simferopol district center) ), as well as entering into the airspace above the territorial waters of the Russian Federation with maximum depth of 12 km.
Publication of NOTAM data (aviation notifications) was not coordinated with either the competent authorities of the Russian Federation, or with the Russian provider of air navigation services (FSUE State ATM Corporation). At the same time, flights of civil and state aircraft are carried out within these zones.
Rosaviatsia reports:
Unilateral actions indicate that the Ukrainian side has no intention to constructively normalize air traffic over the Black Sea, and actually discredits the efforts of the Secretariat of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the ICAO Task Force on the Black Sea on this issue.
Rosaviatsia requires the Ukrainian side to immediately cancel the issued notifications, considers unacceptable attempts to establish prohibited zones in the sovereign airspace of the Russian Federation and insists on the absolute need for prior coordination with the competent Russian authorities and the air navigation service provider to establish prohibited zones in the airspace above the open sea in the zone responsibility of the Russian Federation.
The decision of the Ukrainian side looks like another provocation. It is worth recalling that when the Ukrainian side conducted missile firing in the airspace of Crimea during its Ukrainian jurisdiction, the Ukrainian military shot down a Russian passenger airliner. Kuchma then stated that this was a “mistake”, but “this happens,” and did not make any official apologies about the horrible incident.
