A video has appeared on the Internet showing the interception by a Russian MiG-31 fighter of an American reconnaissance plane, which was moving towards the state border of the Russian Federation.
The video was published by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
Filming is conducted from the cockpit. The video shows how the MiG-31 catches up with the American plane. It can be considered in detail.
We will remind, earlier it was reported that the Russian means of air space control recorded an air target flying over the Pacific Ocean and approaching the state border of the Russian Federation. After that, a MiG-31 fighter jet took to the air.
The identified object was an American strategic reconnaissance aircraft RC-135. MiG-31 escorted him, and when the American aircraft of the US Air Force turned away from the state border of the Russian Federation, the fighter returned to the home airfield.
It is particularly emphasized that during the flight, the crew of the Russian aircraft complied with international rules for the use of airspace.
