A pair of "strategists" Tu-95MS patrolled near Japan and South Korea

A pair of Russian strategic missile carriers Tu-95MS conducted another scheduled patrol over the neutral waters of the Japan and East China Seas. At certain sections of the flight, Russian strategists were accompanied by fighters from Japan and South Korea. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Russia.

Japan and South Korea raised their fighter jets to escort in separate sections of the flight of the Russian strategic missile carriers Tu-95MS. Accompanied by a pair of South Korean Air Force F-15 and F-16 fighters and a Japanese Air Force F-2 couple. Russian strategists flew accompanied by Su-35С fighters and A-50 AWACS aircraft.

The flight of the strategic Tu-95MS lasted more than 10 hours, the aircraft passed over the neutral waters of the Japan and East China Seas.

Far pilots aviation regularly fly in strict accordance with international rules for the use of airspace, without violating the borders of other states

- it is spoken in the message of the Ministry of Defense.

It is possible that in the future the Russian Foreign Ministry may receive a note of protest from South Korea accusing Russian strategists of entering the so-called South Korean air defense identification zone. The Russian Ministry of Defense has repeatedly stated that this zone is not provided for by international rules, it was created independently by South Korea and is not recognized by Russia.

The Strategists Tu-95MS and Tu-160 are the airborne component of the Russian nuclear triad. Tu-95MS is designed to solve striking missions to defeat the most important targets in remote areas and in the deep rear of the continental military theaters.

A bad example is contagious. And if Russia creates the same zone? I can hardly imagine the scale of the world screech.

We would have them. Problems. According to the Yankees, Our pilots lack professionalism as soon as they see an enemy pepelats at a distance of 100 km from the coast ... They keep it tight. Here you understand, or get luli from the authorities or "hooligan". And screeching about "unprofessional interception" is the tenth thing. So there is such a zone and squeals are heard constantly. And when was it easy for enemies with Us?

Previously, for Tu-95 based in Ukrainka and Tu-142 from Mongohta, these were routine flights. And now even an entire publication has been dedicated to this event.

"Tu" of the Poltava division flew to the Far East. From Semipalatinsk, in particular, the Black Sea basin. I remember my father bought in Poltava, from the flyers, KETOVA caviar was exchanged in Kamchatka for bacon and POLTAVA vodka

Why are they flying idle? You can load Russian-Japanese phrasebooks into bombs, let them learn our language! Maybe our grandchildren will survive until the day the Japanese swear in Russian and expel Americans from their land forever! And will be part of Russia! !!

Let them fly, you see, they’ll get used to what Russia is trying to achieve ..
