American intelligence officer RC-135S spotted in the airspace off the coast of the Murmansk region

The reconnaissance aircraft RC-135S of the US Air Force yesterday overflew the Russian border in the Murmansk region, reports Interfax with reference to Western resources, tracking flights of military aircraft.

“A scout with a tail number 61-2663 and callsign LIVID05, who flew out of the Mildenhall air base in the UK on Wednesday morning, is currently on a mission in the Barents Sea. The total duration of the flight with in-flight refueling will be approximately 12-14 hours, of which about four hours the reconnaissance plane will stay near the Russian borders ", - said in a statement.

The publication reminds that last Sunday the RC-135 approached the Russian borders in the Far East. At the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the actions of the crew of the aircraft were called unprofessional and dangerous for the flights of other aircraft.

“As a result of unprofessional actions of the crew of the American aircraft, the danger of a collision with aircraft of civilian airlines was created,” the press service of the military department told the agency.

According to representatives of the Defense Ministry, “Russian air traffic controllers were forced to change flight levels to two long-haul European airliners over the Sea of ​​Japan because of the dangerous approach of the aircraft that did not respond to the signals.”

These are routine flights that have never stopped. There is an information war, and our media began to write about it. As soon as relations with the Americans "warm up" again, such news will cease to be published, although scouts have flown and will continue to fly. The latest RC-135 modifications are very sophisticated machines capable of conducting electronic and optoelectronic reconnaissance.

On machines where highly sensitive optical cameras are installed, one plane of the aircraft is painted black to avoid glare.

And they are trying to detect our new air defense systems.

More likely to take off the characteristics of the radiation of the guidance stations and surveillance radars. Where are our air defense systems located? in peacetime - it is well known.

[andranick]

Yes, it is quite possible that a signal signature base is being developed. possibly for their new EW aviation system. Well, they work out causal relationships, such as the station started working there - and then the squadron rose.

Hi Sergey! And in these latitudes, in my opinion, it’s really possible to arrange a small magnetic storm. For the navigation system of the Americans to leave the meridian, and for life. Yes! In case of aggravation of the situation, we changed the magnetrons to other frequencies. Missile, control systems, in my opinion, did not turn on at all.

[godofwar6699]

for bongo.

true, it was like that from the very beginning of air espionage

[KVIRTU]

I will give an example from our practice, in fairness:
"On December 17, 2012, fighters from the Japanese Self-Defense Forces rose to intercept an unidentified aircraft and found out that it turned out to be the first and so far the only copy of the newest Russian complex reconnaissance aircraft Tu-214R (registration number RA-64511). The aircraft is not painted and does not bear any identification signs. "
(Unidentified - i.e. the on-board transponder was turned off, did not communicate.)
Nothing new for intelligence, there are rules; because you shouldn’t wave your saber here: knock down, knock out, drown out ...

When he served in the Kola Air Defense, even in those days when Yeltsin looked into the mouth of "friend Bill", right up to the stomach, suddenly there was something for immediate execution, and so a couple of Orions always flew along our border. Moreover, with varying degrees of depth of entry into neutral zones, and on the sea the well-known Maryata squelched along the waves in the same direction. These are ordinary Yankidels, there are no questions, but control is mandatory.

[Maksus]

This Maryata is still flopping, you bastard ...

At Kola, we have everything you need to eat

With the same active intelligence, the war began in 41.
As GDP said, if fights cannot be avoided, it is necessary to beat first.
I would add that with all the strength that is. We can’t make a second strike.
Many say that this is a bad idea. I don’t think so, it’s better to let the whole world die with Russia than enjoy life without it. Who agrees with me?

You may, of course, "not in the know", but in the past, during the Soviet era, American intelligence officers almost continuously hung along our borders, and the flights of the SR-71 are a completely separate topic.

The GDP said a lot and promised, if a third of its promises came true - we would live under communism.

You are ready, for some unknown reason, to deliver a nuclear strike against the United States and plunge the world into the abyss of a nuclear apocalypse for the sake of "shouting" Maybe you do not have children, living parents and your beloved woman, and there is nothing to cherish in this life at all?

[Amurets]

Quote: Bongo

SR-71 flights are a separate issue altogether.

Do not remember the SR-71. From the air base of Kaden, it took off and darted along our borders when our lunch began. At first, the first combat crew went hungry, then they really adapted.

- scouts have always flown it .. and with the Union - they flew, and about EBN they flew, and now they fly
- only with the Union and now-they were driven and driven. With EBN, I won’t say for sure, but I suspect that if they drove, then much less

Here is such a picture

[kepmor]

And their scout flew in the 80s and 90s along the Kolskoye on a schedule from 12.00 to 15 almost daily, as if on purpose, to disrupt lunch and deprive the crew of the ship on duty for air defense of the "admiral's hour"! They annoyed me like annoying flies, especially after Russt landed on Red Square.
Well, not sc ....... ka really ?!
And with the collapse of the union and the arrival of "Judas-drunk" to power, the frequency of their flights really dropped sharply.

[siberalt]

You never know whether it flies there. And what did he break then?

[Kibalchish]

Something is not good, they scattered along our borders ...

[kursk87]

The US military is probing the borders, identifying vulnerabilities in the defense of the Russian Federation, and is also looking for the opportunity to once again accuse the Russian air forces of unprofessionalism.

[Primipilus]

Feeling the rascals.

[fox21h]

They feel the defense, something very actively they started to do, it no longer looks like a flag demonstration.

[Engineer]

Do we have electronic warfare aircraft? Why do not they accompany their scouts on flights? They drowned all the equipment to hell and let the deaf and blind fly on. I think immediately their ardor will be reduced.

In a neutral sky ??? Will the control systems on a foreign aircraft fail? This will be classified as an attack ...

[NordUral]

Why include? It is better not to include anything, if only laser illumination for optics, then these flights will be practically useless.

[Thunderbolt]

Quote: NordUral

Radio-electronic attack is the term of international law. And we still observe the order of conduct in a general neutral sky.

[demiurg]

And it was impossible to bring down unnoticed in any way? Like disappeared from the radar screens, and the coordinates of the search engines 300 miles to the side give out.

[FID]

Shoot what? The sky is neutral ...

[DenZ]

Yes, embarrassment comes out. it turns out that neutral airspace for reconnaissance can be used but can’t be completely used to counter intelligence? That way the game with one goal is obtained.

[andranick]

Well, why not, as much as possible. But actively counteract - only possible in military time. In the meantime, to develop methods of concealing their intentions from the intelligence of a potential "friend". Also useful.
PySy:
Here the problem was inflated. Okay, in the "yellow" press, but on the VO, which (in theory) is visited by people, if not involved, then at least interested in military affairs ...

[Thunderbolt]

Flight on duty, apparently. If our alert service worked, then he won’t see anything except what needs to be seen .Not a war, though ... a demonstration of military force is one of the means of armed struggle preceding its use

[aszzz888]

The publication recalls that last Sunday the RC-135 was approaching the Russian borders in the Far East.

Ours, as it were, summoned the Merikatos ambassador to the carpet. "And in response, silence!"?

[vanavatny]

never was and here again repeated

[okunevich_rv]

It is bad that we do not have a developed private small aircraft, it would be interesting to experiment with hooligan actions against a reconnaissance aircraft by a "private person" on a sports aircraft. For example, flooding with paint, followed by a demonstrative censure of the actions of an irresponsible pilot, with censure due to actions in airspace not controlled by the Russian Federation.

Can you imagine the difference in heights and speeds between the RC-135 and the private Tsesna?

[okunevich_rv]

In the United States, in the so-called small aviation, there are jet aircraft, pay attention to the first line, which expresses regret about the low degree of development thereof.

They know perfectly well how it ends. And there is no hope for the Foreign Ministry. Until the air defense of the PRC was intimidated, there were more than 500 "Serious Chinese warnings" in the PRC. By the way, the C-75 opened an account in the PRC on October 7, 1959.

[Alex66]

It’s time to come up with something and suppress their ability to follow us. Our plane flies nearby and interferes.

[Red_Hamer]

The publication reminds that last Sunday the RC-135 approached the Russian borders in the Far East. At the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the actions of the crew of the aircraft were called unprofessional and dangerous for the flights of other aircraft.

On Wednesday, May 25 (yesterday), there again (the Sea of ​​Japan) flew, and again all in the same manner, with danger to passenger ships. Frequency of flights is 2-3 days. There is infa in the media.

[rusmat73]

our answer is to fly around their borders a couple of times! so that they have fun! there will be a stink on their part

[valent45]

Did our fighters accompany him? It is always necessary, in such cases, to make them all kinds of interference and
"non-professional maneuvers". Let them always be indignant. Water hammers the stone.
