Moscow, March 6 (IANS) A Russian Sukhoi-27 fighter jet escorted three French military planes near the Russian border over the Black Sea, state media reported, citing the Russian Defence Ministry.
The ministry on Tuesday said that a Su-27 fighter from the air defence forces on duty was dispatched after Russian radars over the Black Sea detected three air targets flying towards the Russian state border, state-run TASS news agency reported.
The French planes were identified as an E-3F long-range radar detection and control aircraft and two Rafale-C multipurpose fighters of the French air and space forces.
After the Russian fighter jet approached, the foreign military aircraft performed a U-turn from Russia’s state border and left the airspace over the Black Sea, the ministry said, adding that the country’s border was not violated.
