RIA Novosti reports, citing the Russian Defense Ministry, that over the past week, Russian military aerial reconnaissance vehicles carried out at the border four interceptions of foreign reconnaissance aircraft.
As it is specified, air reconnaissance along the borders of Russia during the week was conducted by 12 aircraft. They did not violate airspace.
