A strategic reconnaissance aircraft of the US Air Force RC-135V on Saturday, May 1, made a long flight near the Russian borders in the Far East. This was reported by Western aviation resources.

According to their information, an American electronic intelligence plane, which took off from the Ailson air base in Alaska, was cruising along the south-eastern coast of Kamchatka. He, in particular, flew near the Avacha Bay, where the base of Russian nuclear submarines is located in the city of Vilyuchinsk.

I must say that such provocative raids near our borders are carried out regularly by foreign planes. The Americans are particularly keen on this. They have repeatedly appeared over neutral waters near the borders of the Russian Federation, not only in the Far Eastern sky, but also over the Baltic and the Black Sea. American attempts to conduct reconnaissance are also recorded in the northern seas.

In order to drive these planes away from our borders, the Russian command often has to raise interceptor fighters from the air defense forces on duty in the sky. Their crews in such cases act harshly, but in strict accordance with international rules. Therefore, all previous incidents ended with uninvited visitors leaving our border.

In the Far East, in particular, it was on April 16, when, according to the Russian Defense Ministry, the Russian MiG-31 long-range interceptor fighter was lifted into the air to accompany a strategic reconnaissance aircraft. It was also a USAF RC-135 flying a spy raid off the southeastern coast of Kamchatka.

"The flight of the Russian fighter jet was carried out in strict accordance with international rules for the use of airspace. After the turn of a foreign military aircraft from the state border of the Russian Federation, the Russian fighter safely returned to the home airfield, " our military department reported at the time.

A few days earlier, on April 10, the National Defense Control Center of the Russian Federation reported that a Russian MiG-31 fighter was escorting an American RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft over the Pacific Ocean.
