Russia’s Su-35 fighter jets had to take an emergency flight after the Russian Ministry of Defense spotted two American B-52H strategic bombers moving towards their country’s border.
The Russian Defense Ministry has confirmed that its fighter jets made an emergency flight to intercept two US B-52H strategic bombers flying over the Baltic Sea, state news agency Tass said.
According to the Russian news agency, the radars of the Air Defense Force detected two air targets over the Baltic Sea that were flying towards the border of Russia, while the main purpose of the flight of the Russian fighter jets is to identify and intercept the flying aircraft. It was to prevent violation of the border of our country.
According to the news agency, when the American bombers changed direction and moved away from the Russian border, the emergency fighter jets landed back at their military base.
It should be noted that earlier on March 14, a US military spy drone reportedly crashed in international airspace near the same area in the Black Sea as a result of a collision with Russian fighter jets.
According to media reports, Russia has denied any such confrontation, but the US has warned that it will respond appropriately to any provocation in the future.
