Russia scrambles Su-30 fighter jet due to British aircraft over the Black Sea

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported in its Telegram channel that today a Su-30 fighter from the air defense duty forces was scrambled due to three air targets over the Black Sea.

The Russian fighter crew identified the targets as an RC-135 electronic reconnaissance and electronic warfare aircraft and two RAF Typhoon multi-role fighters.

As a result, foreign military aircraft turned around from the state border of the Russian Federation.
