Russian reconnaissance aircraft observed off the coast of California

07.05.2014/XNUMX/XNUMX. Herbert Carlisle, the head of the US Pacific Air Force in the Pacific region, said that his subordinates had spotted Russian reconnaissance planes off the coast of California.

The commander stated that these overflights, committed with the help of long-range aircraft are directly related to the developments in Crimea and Ukraine.
Carlisle noted that the actions of the Russian Tu-95, which is classified by NATO forces as "Bear" - Bear, did not go unnoticed. To intercept him were raised F-15.

The general also reported on the growth of Russian military activity near Japan.

The actions of the Russian Armed Forces look quite natural: not so long ago, NATO announced the holding of mass exercises in Romania, Poland, and the Baltic states. Of course, these doctrines are a response to the Russian forces ’movement towards the borders of Ukraine, but given the scale of the balance between the military forces of Russia and the North Atlantic Alliance, the concern of the Russian Federation is fully justified.
