“On September 17, 2020, Russian airspace control devices over the neutral waters of the Baltic Sea detected two air targets approaching the Russian state border.

To identify air targets and prevent violation of the state border of Russia, a Su-27 fighter from the air defense forces of the Baltic Fleet was taken into the air, ”the National Defense Center of the Russian Federation reports.

The Su-27 identified the aerial targets as a US Navy P-8A Poseidon base patrol aircraft and a reconnaissance aircraft.

Earlier it was reported that the Su-27 intercepted military aircraft of Great Britain and the United States over the Black Sea.
