Russian Air Force organized According to Chinese analysts on the Sohu website, an unpleasant surprise for NATO before the summit attended by Vladimir Putin and Joseph Biden, which took place on 16 June in Geneva. We are talking about the departure of Russian Tu-160 bombers, accompanied by two Su-27 fighters and two Su-35 fighters. Then NATO aircraft, which were lifted into the air, could not even approach them.
The flight of Russian planes over the neutral waters of the Baltic Sea lasted 8 hours. “Several European countries have started to panic,” the Chinese write. They note that everything happened at the most unpleasant moment for Western countries. After all, NATO officials themselves regularly provoked Russia by providing flights along its borders, but then found themselves in a situation where they themselves encountered an approaching squadron.
“The maneuvers of Russian planes have become a signal for the USA and its allies. Russia took the opportunity to show its opponents that it is not worth trying to have a dialogue with it from a position of power, “Sohu observers write.
Earlier, Chinese analysts noted that the action led to NATO aircraft being subjected to “ridicule” as a result of clumsy actions.
