        South Korea responded by sending F-15K and KF-16 fighters, which first issued warnings and fired flares. They fired 80 warning shots at the plane during the first breach, and 280 rounds during the second, military official told AFP.

        But it is quite possible that the story was like over Sakhalin, when a warning line without tracers and no one noticed.

            The Koreans say they gave 2 lines - 80 and 280 shells in Russian Tu-95.
            The Chinese say we flew off normally, we will continue to fly. Neutral airspace and all that.
            MO says unprofessional Korean pilots portrayed something there and then flew away. We flew in international airspace.

            Japan - made a note that South Korea, Russia and China were in general insolent to arrange air incidents over the originally Japanese island.

            The Americans are still sleeping and are not really saying anything.

            The place where they flew is disputed by South Korea and Japan.

        the "hint" was an article not on this topic ..
        And "almost shot down" is called that, when they really shoot down, they don't say that anymore.

        you bought some new Ukrainian glasses

        That's just a minus for it!
        This is already some kind of farce, mentioning Ukraine is absolutely inappropriate, speaking about the events and the conflict between Russia and South Korea in the Far East.
        who almost knocked someone there?))))) at least a hint of where there is such a thing?

        At least the Interfax article "Japan, following Seoul, accused the Russian Federation of violating its airspace," quote:
        The military asked the plane to leave, after which flares were fired and warning shots were fired. In total, according to Seoul, South Korean aircraft fired 360 shots.

        Maybe it’s a lie, of course, but in my eyes, the Russian Defense Ministry has discredited itself with a lie about saving pilots in a Su-34 collision.
        Moreover, the Turks already shot down one Russian Su-24, even without warning shots.
        I think that the shelling of the A-50 (if there was any) is a very serious incident and "jokes" are not appropriate here.

              It is necessary to ask the "long-range" ones, on the Tu-16 the second navigator had a twin 23mm cannon + two shooters in the stern, there was a school plane (for navigators).
              Difficult and serious they had and have, I mean the far.

      What does it mean ... they nearly shot down? Do you understand the consequences of the destruction of the Strategic Bomber ???
      The statement of the South Koreans, in My opinion, is nothing more than pouting ... in the hope of appearing strong and courageous. About warning fire ... I think too - Zvizdezh! Shoot in front of a group of Russian and Chinese aircraft ... I do not think that the South Caucasus need such a pain in the ass.

        Yes, this is not a pain in the neck but idiocy of pure water. I am far from aviation, but I strongly doubt that such an action and even from the two countries did not go under full control from take-off to landing. and fly somewhere and even that someone would decide to shoot in their direction is stupidly unrealistic. someone doesn’t like this step, and they are chugging something strange.

        Like a front-line bomber?

        in general, the news itself is very strange .. What, in principle, can mean patrolling startegi bombers? A joint patrol? This is some very serious signal actually.

    Of course, trusting the Dragon is dangerous, but in this case it is better to have his ally and keep an eye out so that he does not run over to the camp of "partners". And so with allies or those who at least do not shit under the door not a lot ..

    It’s a pity that the Chinese cannot fly to our bases with us from their bases because of the smaller combat radius. Because our joint actions there are a very pleasant surprise for the USA Yes . But I would like to advise them then ---... Will you be with us in Kolyma - we are asking for mercy! soldier

        The distance of the islands to China is less than 1000 km for Chinese fighter jets, to Vladivostok a little more than 1000 km in a straight line, if put on the Su-35 without PTB: 3600 km / s 2 PTB-2000 l: 4500 km, and there is also a refueling system in in the air.
        And what's the problem? For that, neither Koreans (Republic of Korea), nor Japanese, nor Americans will be impudent !!!
