Su-27 prevented border violations by three French Aerospace Forces aircraft in the Black Sea. Su-27 identified the French E-3F long-range radar detection and control aircraft, as well as two Rafal-S multirole fighters.
As the Russian Aerospace Forces fighter approached, the French planes turned away from the state border and left the airspace. Earlier, Russian air defense systems shot down a MiG-29 fighter of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Nikolaev region. The Russian Ministry of Defense informs about this.
