Russia-US tension has moved to the Baltic Sea

The power struggle between Russia and the US continues over the seas. Russia, which previously shot down a US drone in the Black Sea, lifted its warplanes to prevent border violations by US bombers in the Baltic Sea.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the Russian warplane took off in the Baltic Sea to prevent the border violation of 2 US bombers.

In the statement made by the ministry, it was noted that 2 "В-52Н" bombers belonging to the US Air Force were detected by Russian air defense systems in the Baltic Sea.

In the statement, "Su-35 aircraft of the Western Military District's air defense units took off to prevent the violation of the state border of the Russian Federation. This aircraft was deployed to the designated area in the air. The Russian aircraft returned to the airbase after the foreign warplanes moved away from the state border, " were included.

'BORDER VIOLATION NOT ALLOWED'

In the statement, which was noted that the Russian warplane flew in accordance with international rules regarding the use of airspace, it was emphasized that border violations were not allowed.

In the Black Sea, it was reported that the US "MQ-9" type UAV fell into international waters as a result of being harassed by Russian warplanes last week.

RUSSIA SHOT DOWN US MQ-9 REAPER UAV

Russian warplanes shot down a US drone in the Black Sea last week. Although the Russian authorities claimed that they did not shoot down the drone, the USA had published the video of the downing of the UAV. In the shared images, it is seen that the Russian warplane approached the US UAV dangerously and poured fuel on the UAV. U.S. officials announced that after the attack of the Russian jet, the propeller of the UAV shattered and therefore they shot down the UAV, which became "flying".
