A Russian Su-35 fighter jet was raised to intercept two US Air Force B-52H strategic bombers over the Baltic Sea.
The United States continues to carry out provocations near the Russian borders, the air defense forces of the Western Military District were forced to respond to the appearance of two American B-52H strategic bombers over the Baltic Sea. The Su-35S fighter was raised to intercept the strategists. This was reported by the National Defense Control Center of the Russian Federation.
As follows from the report, on March 20, air defense systems of the Western Military District detected two air targets moving in the direction of the state border of the Russian Federation. To identify targets and prevent violations, the Su-35S fighter of the duty forces was raised into the air.
A Russian combat aircraft over the Baltic Sea spotted two US Air Force B-52H strategic bombers heading towards the border. After the discovery, the crews of the strategists changed course to the opposite and went towards the countries of Europe. The Russian fighter jet returned to its base airfield without violating the state border of the Russian Federation.
It is worth noting that American aircraft have recently become more active near the borders of Russia. Literally nine days ago, the US Air Force B-52H worked out the attack on St. Petersburg, entering the city from the Baltic Sea near the island of Gogland, while being in neutral airspace. According to a special service that monitors aircraft traffic, the American bomber took off from Poland, after which it flew over the Baltic Sea towards a Russian city, simulated a missile attack over the Gulf of Finland, and then turned around and went to the base through the Baltic airspace. During the "attack" the American strategist was at a distance of 200 km from St. Petersburg.
According to experts, the number of provocations at the Russian borders will only increase, the United States will not back down from its task to destroy Russia in its current form in one way or another.
