The Russian Su-27 intercepted three US and British reconnaissance aircraft. This is the second interception to date. This was reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
Earlier, an American reconnaissance aircraft had already been intercepted in the skies over the Baltic Sea.
Recently, cases of interception of American reconnaissance aircraft near the Russian borders have become more frequent. Since the beginning of August, about ten such incidents have been reported, in particular over the Black and Barents Seas.
