MOSCOW (Reuters) – The US scrambled fighter jets to escort four Russian nuclear-succesful Tupolev Tu-95MS strategic bombers as they implemented a deliberate flight discontinuance to the U.S. border, the RIA news company cited the Russian Defence Ministry as asserting.
The Russian airplane implemented an 11-hour flight over neutral waters of the Chukotsk, Bering and Okhotsk Seas as well to the northern fragment of the Pacific Ocean, the ministry used to be quoted as asserting on Wednesday.
