Late on Tuesday evening, November 27, an anti-submarine aircraft, a Boeing P-8A Poseidon, the US Navy with a tail number 168848, conducted a reconnaissance flight along the Russian Black Sea coast.. This was announced in the microblog Twitter monitoring portal PlaneRadar. It is noted that the American intelligence officer was approaching the coastline in the region of Sevastopol at a distance of 31 kilometers. Recently, similar flights in the area are not uncommon:

earlier on the same day, reconnaissance was performed by the strategic drone RQ-4A Global Hawk, the US Air Force, said the portal. Foreign reconnaissance aircraft and drones are increasingly operating at the Russian borders, reminds RIA Novosti. Their interest is caused by both the Crimea and the Krasnodar Territory, and the western regions of the Russian Federation. The Russian Defense Ministry has repeatedly appealed to the US authorities to stop such flights, but was refused.
