A US P-8A Poseidon anti-submarine patrol aircraft made a reconnaissance flight near the Russian Hmeimim airbase located in Syria.
According to the monitoring military website Plane Radar, the American reconnaissance aircraft took off from the Sigonella airbase in Sicily and cruised for about an hour off the Mediterranean coast of Syria, periodically approaching the Russian Khmeimim base and the logistics base of the Russian Navy. The flight took place at an altitude of 4700 meters.
By the way, recently the activity of foreign reconnaissance aircraft and UAVs near the Russian borders has increased. Spying air devices were noticed in the region of the Crimea and the Krasnodar Territory, as well as over the Baltic Sea.
Over the past year, more than 1,000 reconnaissance aircraft of NATO countries were dangerously approaching the state border of Russia.
