Su-30 fighters of the Russian Navy followed the flight of the American P-8 Poseidon over the Black Sea

Russian Su-30 fighters of the Russian Navy tracked the flight of the American Boeing P-8 Poseidon anti-submarine aircraft as it was over the Black Sea waters. This was done to prevent foreign aircraft from violating the state border of the Russian Federation.

This information, with reference to the Russian Ministry of Defense, came from the agency RIA News.

Towards "Poseidon" were raised two Su-30 fighters, which are part of the forces of the naval aviation and air defense, which are on duty in the airspace in the border zone.

It happened yesterday evening. It was discovered that an unknown plane is flying over the neutral waters of the Black Sea, approaching the Russian border. The fighters that flew to escort him were supposed to identify the object and prevent it from entering the airspace of the Russian Federation.

The flight of Russian aircraft was carried out in strict accordance with international rules for the use of airspace.

- noted in the message of the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry.

At the end of last month, the Russian defense department reported that a British carrier-based fighter F-35B was observing the exercises of the Russian Navy in the Mediterranean Sea. Thus, the military of the Russian Federation and NATO are trying not to lose sight of each other's actions.

But what about the notorious "interception" ?!
At least, they used to write this only when our planes met an aircraft of another state.

[Sergey M. Karasev]

Poseidon was smart enough not to cross the border. It seems that he did not approach so critically that the departure of our fighters was considered an intercept.

[Peter is not the first]

Since the "American partners" did not speak about the actions of our pilots as "unsafe and unprofessional", then this is not an interception, but identification.

Are you surprised? I don’t. Here's an RC-135 right now.

It is interesting that the Su-30 has Kh-31 anti-ship missiles suspended, but I did not notice the air-to-air missiles.

[Dmitry Vladimirovich]

I also noticed. And the plane - Su-30 spark.
It's just that the final shots were stuck from a completely different flight - they don't care.

"The Su-30 is a Soviet / Russian 4+ generation two-seat multi-role fighter." as the wiki states. Yes, and I have not seen a single Su-30

Expert opinion.

According to military observer Viktor Baranets, the purpose of the invasion of the Russian Federation's territorial waters by the destroyer Defender was not only to show its non-recognition of Crimea as part of Russia, but also to carry out a reconnaissance mission.

At the time when the ship of the Royal Navy made this maneuver, a US Air Force reconnaissance aircraft was raised in the air in order to detect the signals of Russian radar stations, as well as radars of the coastal systems "Bal" and "Bastion". Knowing about such plans of NATO, the Russian side simply prepared a number of false signals, thereby delivering disinformation to the North Atlantic Alliance.

Now, as Baranets notes, the secret can be revealed, arguing that the Russian side, not including real radars in the incident with the destroyer of the Royal Navy, was simply fooling US and NATO intelligence.

Targeted reconnaissance operation under American control.

A few days after the British destroyer Defender invaded Russian territorial waters near Crimea, it became known that the actions of the Russian fleet and aircraft were closely followed by an American warship. He was supposed to provide support, presumably fire, in the event that the Russian military attacked a British ship. Some details on this subject were announced in an interview with the Ukrainian edition of "Apostrophe" by the captain of the first rank of the US Navy, retired Harry Tabakh.

As follows from the information provided, the actions of the British warship were completely controlled by the American military, who, obviously, also provided cover for the British ship.

Monolith-B can work in a mode hidden for the enemy.

The provocation of the British destroyer Defender, which invaded Russian territorial waters near Crimea at the end of June, proves once again how important the role of coastal surveillance systems for the coastal situation on the water and in the air is.

. At the moment, the Navy is armed with the latest modification of the coastal reconnaissance complex for air and surface situations, created in the Kaluga NPP "Typhoon" - "Monolit-B". He began to enter the troops at the very end of the last decade. It was "Monolit-B" that the British destroyer "Defender" discovered, accompanied it and transmitted target designation to the coastal missile systems "Bal" and "Bastion". And in the event of the extreme stubbornness of the British commander, they would at least put the ship out of action.

The complex is designed for over-the-horizon detection and tracking of surface and air objects.

. "Monolit-B" is a combination of over-the-horizon radar and electronic reconnaissance system. Accordingly, it works in two modes - active and passive, that is, secretive for the enemy. At the same time, the nationality of objects is determined according to the principle of "friend or foe." In active mode, the over-the-horizon radar is capable of detecting targets at a distance of up to 250 kilometers. At the same time, 30 targets are simultaneously tracked, for which the complex also issues target designation to coastal and shipborne missile systems.

In passive mode, the detection range increases to 450 kilometers. At the same time, the complex is capable of detecting up to 50 targets. Escort and target designation - 10 targets.

However, the capabilities of monitoring the air and surface situation at the "Monolith-B" are wider than its own equipment provides. The complex is capable of receiving and analyzing data from external sources conducting reconnaissance: ships, aircraft, helicopters. In this case, the number of detected targets can reach two hundred.

The most efficient communication with external sources of intelligence information is carried out with ships equipped with the over-the-horizon active / passive radar "Mineral-M". They have characteristics similar to "Monolit-B" and are also produced at NPP "Typhoon". These include Project 11661 Gepard missile ships and Project 22800 Karakurt small missile ships.

So "Monolit-B" is capable of taking on the functions of a dispatcher or an automated command post, where all intelligence information from the area of ​​responsibility is collected.

The control of the complex equipment and the processing of the results are based on the digital principle. The presence of night vision devices, navigation equipment, topographic referencing and orientation allows "Monolit-B" to work in any weather conditions and at any time of the day and spend minimal time on switching to the tracking mode after relocating to a new position.

And what is there to explore? Crimea bristled with various types of weapons and does not intend to surrender .. And especially, after a railway line was launched across the Kerch bridge .. Nobody knows what they brought there, but I think Russia will collapse, and Crimea will keep its defenses for a long time!
God forbid ..

Interestingly, earlier they were mainly met by the Su-27, over the Baltic, over the Black Sea. In recent reports, the Su-30 are mostly featured.

Not that an unknown plane - the transponder is working.
But a flag demonstration is necessary.
