American bomber intercepted in two minutes of flight from the Russian border

The American strategic bomber managed to intercept two minutes before the violation of the Russian border.

The American strategic bomber Stratofortress practically flew into the airspace of the Russian Federation off the coast of Crimea. As it became known, the American military aircraft flew a direct course to the Crimea, and although Russian fighters were sent to intercept it, intercept a combat aircraft capable of carrying nuclear weapons. It was possible only in 40 kilometers from the border of the airspace of the Russian Federation, which, with the flight speed of this aircraft, means that in the next minutes 2 he could easily enter the country's airspace.

That fact is remarkable. that such details were not voiced by representatives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, although the military department specified that no violations of the airspace were allowed.

Nevertheless, as the American edition of the War Zone reports, as evidenced by the flight route of the American B-52, in reality, the American Stratofortress flew up to the coast of the Crimea at a distance of approximately 64 kilometers, that is, in fact, was at a distance of about 40 kilometers from Russian airspace.

“In this case, the bomber seemed to be heading straight for the coastline of the Crimea and went 40 miles to the peninsula before turning around.”, - reports the American edition, referring to the fact that this is the first time that American bombers approached the borders of Russia to such a minimum distance.
