The Ministry of Defense showed the interception of a reconnaissance aircraft at the Russian border
Recently we Reportedhow seriously the American Navy and Air Force intensified with reconnaissance missions in the waters of the Black and Baltic Seas. And so, on January 24, 2019, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the Su-27 fighter on duty intercepted the Swedish Gulfstream reconnaissance aircraft, which was flying with the transponder turned off towards the Russian border.
It should be noted that this is another clearly unfriendly step of the supposedly “neutral” country in relation to our state. Initially, the Russian military discovered by means of control in the air over the neutral Baltic an unknown target that was quickly approaching the state border of Russia. After that, an air defense fighter on duty was sent to intercept the target, who determined what kind of “guest” he had granted.
Having completed the task, i.e. Having driven the scout out, the Su-27 safely returned to its base airfield. So the likely "partners" of Russia are testing our state for strength, as well as specifying the combat readiness of the armed forces. Now we are looking forward to the start of another Russophobic hysteria from Stockholm about the "aggression" of Moscow.
It should be added that Gulfstream is a line of turbofan twin-engine aircraft developed by the American company Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation (currently a subsidiary of General Dynamics Corporation).
