The head of the Kaliningrad region Anton Alikhanov spoke about those who were familiar with the flights around the region of NATO intelligence aircraft. He declared this in an interview with RIA Novosti.
These flights are a standard “sharing of courtesies” between the military, the Russian governor noted.
“The frequency, of course, has risen, but as far as I understand, nothing here they cannot consider such that they cannot consider from space. It is more likely to check the borders, as far as we will respond quickly, we see or not see. Standard exchange of courtesies between Military, “said Alikhanov.
he added that the Russian pilots also fly, “we hear them, we see, everything is fine.” According to him, the aviation of the Russian Federation with tracking and detection systems “is also all right.”
In early December, the passenger plane, following the route Tel Aviv – Moscow, was forced to change the direction to avoid rapprochement with the US intelligence aircraft over the Black Sea. The official representative of Pentagon John Kirby has rejected the creation of a threat to the American exploratory aircraft to the Civil Lainer. He stressed that the aircraft did not produce dangerous or non-professional maneuvers over the Black Sea.
