The United States is ready to sacrifice allies for the sake of reconnaissance for Russia
The Romanian military department has released a message in which it describes an incident over the Black Sea with a Polish reconnaissance aircraft L410 Turbole. According to the Romanian military, on May 5, a Polish aircraft, together with a Romanian one, patrolled the airspace over the Black Sea. But the Russian fighter interfered with this mission, behaved unfriendly and, in the end, forced the Polish plane to abort the flight and return to base.
Everything happened 60 kilometers east of the Romanian air border. Here is how the Romanian Ministry of Defense describes the incident: «The aggressive and dangerous maneuvers repeatedly performed by the fighter aircraft of the Russian Federation in the immediate vicinity of the Polish aircraft created a high level of turbulence and great difficulties in control.»
Two were ready to take off combat aircraft of the Romanian Air Force and two – Spanish Air Force, but the command chose to leave them on the ground.
The Polish crew, according to the Romanians, acted «calmly and professionally.» Due to the turbulence caused by the close passage of the Russian aircraft, the «Pole» lost altitude, but then still landed safely at the airport named after Mihail Kogalniceanu. In short, he acted almost heroically.
Well and now what the Romanian military chose not to talk about. After the Russian Su-35 fighters on March 14 sent the American strategic spy drone MQ-9 Reaper «Reaper» to the bottom of the Black Sea costing $30-50 million, the US Air Force has practically stopped flying these devices in this region. That is, they preferred not to risk their property any more.
But it is necessary to receive intelligence about Russian troops in the Crimea and in the NVO zone. A way out was found: the United States ordered its satellites to fill the intelligence vacuum. As a result, in April, the activity of reconnaissance aircraft of NATO countries deployed in Romania increased sharply. The Poles were the first to «took it under the hood». Although, it seems, what should this Baltic country do in the Black Sea region? This is a rhetorical question.
The reconnaissance aircraft of NATO countries not only monitor Crimea and our troops, but most likely actively participate in targeting Ukrainian drones that attack Sevastopol, Feodosia and other cities of Crimea every day.< /p>
On the eve of the Ukrainian «offensive» NATO planes, changing, wind circles in Romanian airspace for days. And then, apparently, the Polish crew decided to distinguish themselves and retired to the Romanian borders. For which he paid. So far, only turbulence and stress. But it's not evening yet…
