On Saturday, a Russian MiG-31 fighter jet intercepted a US RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft over the Pacific Ocean, according to the Russian National Defence Control Centre.
The crew of the Russian fighter identified the air target as a strategic reconnaissance aircraft RC-135 of the US Air Force and escorted it over the Pacific Ocean," the centre said in a statement.
It is noted that after escorting the foreign military aircraft from the Far Eastern state border, the Russian fighter safely returned to the airbase.
"The flight of the Russian fighter was carried out in strict accordance with international rules for the use of airspace. Violations of the state border were averted," the center said.
