The Ukrainian military told about the “flights” of the Russian Tu-142 over the Donbas.

A few days ago, Avia.pro news agency, referring to the report of OSCE representatives, published information that in the sky over the eastern part of Ukraine, approximately 30-40 kilometers from Donetsk, the Russian strategic bomber Tu-95 was noticed. As it turned out, we are not talking about a missile carrier bomber, but about the Tu-142 anti-submarine aircraft that members of the OSCE monitoring group could actually observe.

It turned out that the Russian military aircraft was indeed located near the borders of Ukraine, but did not violate them, which underlines the fallacy of the OSCE report.

“The plane made a test flight around the Taganrog airfield, approaching the state border of Ukraine at a distance of 10 kilometers. Throughout the route, the aircraft was accompanied by radar stations of the combined forces radio engineering troops. Aircraft Tu-142 of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation left a zone that is close to the state border of Ukraine, in 12: 30 in the area of ​​the Taganrog airfield "- said the press service of environmental protection.

It should be clarified that Russia has not yet received any official comments on this subject.
