Friday, 31 July 2020_The Russian military has intercepted American spy planes over the Black Sea four times in the past week.
The Russian defense ministry said an Su-27 jet fighter buzzed two US reconnaissance aircraft on Thursday after they had approached the country’s border over the Black Sea.
The American spy planes were identified as an RC-135 strategic reconnaissance aircraft and a Р-8А Poseidon maritime surveillance plane.
“The American reconnaissance planes were not allowed to breach the Russian Federation’s state border,” the ministry said in a statement.
A similar incident took place on Monday over the Black Sea. The Russian air force also escorted a Р-8А Poseidon plane away from the country’s airspace last Thursday and again on Friday.
