Russian media: Two US military aircraft operated near the Black Sea and the Russian border that day.
Xinhua News Agency, Moscow, November 8. According to a report by RIA Novosti on the 8th, flight data showed that a US military patrol plane was active over the Black Sea that day, and another US patrol plane flew along the Russian border for more than 4 hours.
According to reports, the Boeing P-8A Poseidon took off from Varna, Bulgaria at 19:32 Moscow time, heading for the Black Sea. As of 20:00, the plane is still flying over the waters of the Black Sea. The aircraft is mainly used for maritime patrol, electronic patrol and locating and tracking surface ships and submarines. Bulgarian national television reported at the end of October that a similar plane had arrived in Varna to conduct patrols in the western Black Sea.
According to the reports, another Bombardier "Artemis 2" patrol plane took off from the Mihail Koglenicano Air Base in southeastern Romania at around 9:41 a.m. and headed north. After flying around the Kaliningrad region of Russia, it flew north along the border between the Baltic states and Russia towards Estonia. Starting at 17:50, the plane flew around the Russian border for more than 4 hours, then again circled around the Kaliningrad region and returned. The plane, which was converted from a business jet, is often used for flights and to conduct radar reconnaissance around the Kaliningrad region and over the Black Sea along the Crimean Peninsula and southern Russia.
According to reports in the Russian media, in recent years NATO has been operating in an unprecedented manner near Russia's western border. Russia has repeatedly expressed concern about the buildup of NATO forces in Europe. The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that Russia is still ready to conduct a dialogue with NATO on the basis of equality, but the West must give up the policy of militarization of the European continent.
