Russia says it scrambled MiG-29 after Norwegian plane neared Russian airspace

Russia’s defense ministry said on Monday that it had scrambled a MiG-29 jet after a Norwegian airforce plane neared Russian airspace over the Barents Sea, off Russia’s Arctic coast.


In a statement posted on Telegram, the ministry said that the Norwegian plane had not crossed into Russian airspace.

 The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that on August 14 an unidentified air target was detected over the Barents Sea. A MiG-29 fighter on duty from the air defense forces of the Northern Fleet, which was taken into the air, identified it as an R-8A Poseidon base patrol aircraft of the Norwegian Air Force.

As the Russian fighter jet approached, the Norwegian plane turned around. Violation of the state border of the Russian Federation is not allowed.

  1. Северный флот поднимал истребитель МиГ-29 при приближении к границе РФ самолета базовой патрульной авиации Р-8А «Посейдон» ВС Норвегии. Об этом 14 августа сообщило Минобороны РФ.

    «Для опознавания воздушной цели и недопущения нарушения Государственной границы РФ в воздух был поднят истребитель МиГ-29 из состава дежурных по противовоздушной обороне сил Северного флота», — пишет ведомство.

    По словам Минобороны, как только российский истребитель приблизился к границе, иностранный самолет сразу же сделал разворот. Таким образом было исключено нарушение Государственной границы РФ.
