A Russian fighter intercepted an advanced US reconnaissance plane over the Pacific Ocean
The Russian Pacific Fleet reported Friday that the Russian army had pushed a MiG-31 fighter to escort an American reconnaissance plane over the ocean as it approached the Russian border, the Interfax news agency reported.
“The Russian fighter crew identified the air target as a strategic reconnaissance aircraft RC-135 of the US Air Force, and accompanied it over the Pacific Ocean,” the agency said, quoting a fleet statement.
It added that the Russian warplane returned to its base after the US plane departed from the Russian border.
