The crew of the Russian fighter identified the aerial target as a P-8A Poseidon base patrol aircraft, the National Defense Control Center of the Russian Federation reported.

MOSCOW, August 23. /tass/. The Russian MiG-29 fighter took to the air because of the approach of the Norwegian Air Force P-8A Poseidon to the state border of the Russian Federation. This was reported to journalists at the National Center for Defense Management (NCMS) of the Russian Federation.

"On August 23, 2023, an air target approaching the state border of the Russian Federation was detected by Russian means of airspace control over the Barents Sea. In order to identify the air target and prevent violations of the state border of the Russian Federation, a MiG-29 fighter from the air defense duty of the Northern Fleet forces was lifted into the air," the NTSU noted.

They clarified that the crew identified the aerial target as a P-8A Poseidon base patrol aircraft of the Norwegian Air Force. "When a Russian fighter jet approached, a foreign military aircraft performed a U-turn from the state border of the Russian Federation. Violations of the state border of the Russian Federation are not allowed," the center stressed.

As noted in the NCSO, the MiG-29 flight was carried out in strict accordance with international rules for the use of airspace.
