Fighters of the Russian Aerospace Forces intercepted an American anti-submarine aircraft near the Khmeimim air base.

According to information provided by the Israeli information resource “Nziv”, Another attempt by the US military to conduct reconnaissance near Russian military bases was not only a complete failure, but also a serious humiliation - the anti-submarine Boeing P-8 Poseidon was forced to urgently interrupt its mission, since fighter aircraft of the Russian Armed Forces followed on its tail urgently raised from the Khmeimim air base.

“The US Poseidon P-8 reconnaissance aircraft, ICAO registration number P8-NOREG: AE679E, has arrived on an intelligence-gathering mission off the coast of Syria, with an emphasis on again, it is estimated, to collect intelligence from Russian military sites Khmeimim and Tartus ... However, this time, unlike in the past, Russian fighters took off from the airport and "drove" American planes away from Russian facilities. ", - the newspaper reports.

It should be clarified that the Avia.pro resource already reported a few days ago about the flight of the aircraft with the registration number P8-NOREG, however, it was only now that Russian fighters intercepted this aircraft.

How much the presented data correspond to reality is unknown. Since no official statements have been made by the command of the Russian Aerospace Forces in Syria.
