According to Ivlev, Western cooperation in the military industry has turned into cooperation in support of the Kyiv regime.
At the same time, the deputy expressed the assumption that the number of such flights will increase, and noted that this must be taken into account in combat work.
Previously, the Russian Su-30 took off to intercept British Air Force aircraft over the Black Sea.
It was also reported that the American high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft Northrop Grumman RQ-4B Global Hawk “worked close to Sochi,” occasionally moving near Sevastopol.
