Russian fighters were taken into the air to "intercept" the American B-52H strategic bomber heading towards the Russian border in the Pacific Ocean. This is reported by the National Center for Defense Management.
According to the report, on Sunday, September 26, air defense systems of the Eastern Military District detected an air target moving towards the Russian border over the neutral waters of the Pacific Ocean. In order to identify the air target, as well as to prevent a possible violation of the airspace, three Su-35S fighters of the air defense forces on duty were taken into the air.
Russian fighters "intercepted" the American strategist, identified him as a B-52H strategic bomber of the US Air Force Global Strikes Command and escorted him. The crew of the American bomber, seeing the Russian planes, made a U-turn and went in the opposite direction from the Russian borders.
It is emphasized that there was no violation of the border, the Russian fighters, making sure that the "American" went back, landed at the airfield of deployment.
It should be noted that the American B-52N strategic bombers periodically “probe” the Russian defenses in the Far East and Kamchatka, occasionally they are joined by B-1B Lancer. From the side of the Baltic and the Black Sea, the "movement" is more active, both reconnaissance aircraft, anti-submarine, and reconnaissance aircraft are "spinning" near the Russian borders drones.
