Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov has instructed the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces to take measures to promptly respond to provocations related to the increased activity of US strategic drones over the Black Sea, the Defence Ministry said.
“The Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation Andrei Belousov instructed the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to take measures of prompt response to provocations,” the Russian Defence Ministry said in a statement.
The ministry noted the increased intensity of flights of US strategic unmanned aerial vehicles over the waters of the Black Sea, which carry out reconnaissance and targeting of precision weapons supplied to the armed forces of Ukraine by Western states to strike Russian facilities.
“This shows the increasing involvement of the US and NATO countries in the conflict in Ukraine on the side of the Kiev regime. Such flights multiply the likelihood of airspace incidents with Russian Air and Space Force aircraft, which increases the risk of a direct confrontation between the alliance and Russian Federation. The responsibility for this will be borne by NATO countries”, – specified in the Ministry.
We shall remind you that earlier “Rostec” state corporation showed the combat use of a kamikaze drone “Cube” in the special operation zone.
