«MiG-31 flew past at supersonic speed»
Details of the intimidation action over the Black Sea involving our MiG-31 and the American reconnaissance aircraft «Global Hawk» became known on the evening of Tuesday, June 25.
As MK previously assumed, our high-altitude interceptor fighter “accidentally” flew over a reconnaissance drone at a very high speed, thereby disrupting the flight stability of the drone.
Global Hawk drones provide intelligence information to the Armed Forces of Ukraine during missile and unmanned attacks on Crimea. This was the case on June 23, when an American cluster rocket killed four people and wounded dozens of beachgoers on the beach of Sevastopol.
The details of the intimidation campaign on Tuesday evening on the air of the “333” program were told by a former fighter pilot, administrator of the “Fighterbomber” channel.
“It so happened that we passed by completely by accident and at very high speed, and above the Global Hawk «, a MiG-31 plane flew by. He can do that. It happened purely by chance. There was no opening of fire here, no guns. It just so happened that the situation developed that he flew over the Global Hawk at a very high speed, at which only the MiG-31 can fly. After which some changes occurred with the flight parameters of the Global Hawk, after which it abruptly changed its mind about carrying out its combat reconnaissance mission, turned around and went home. Quietly. Of course, I emphasize, it just happened. Because the Americans do not coordinate the flight route with us , just like we are with them in neutral waters,” said the military pilot and administrator of the Fighterbomber channel ironically.
He also expressed the hope that such meetings will now happen more and more often.
