The United States continues to carry out provocations near the Russian borders, the air defense forces on duty in the Western Military District were forced to respond to the appearance of two American B-52N strategic bombers over the Baltic Sea. A Su-35S fighter was raised to intercept the strategists. This is reported by the National Defense Control Center of the Russian Federation.

As follows from the message, on March 20, the air defense systems of the Western Military District detected two air targets moving in the direction of the state border of the Russian Federation. In order to identify targets and prevent violations, a Su-35S fighter of the duty forces was lifted into the air.

A Russian combat aircraft over the waters of the Baltic Sea found two strategic bombers of the US Air Force B-52N 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 returned to the home 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. Just nine days ago, the B-52N of the US Air Force worked out an 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 tracks aircraft traffic, the American bomber took off from Poland, then proceeded over the Baltic Sea towards the Russian city, simulated a missile attack over the Gulf of Finland, 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 retreat from its task in one way or another to destroy Russia in its current form.
