The Russian Armed Forces launched Tu-95MS bombers, which flew close to Japan (video)

The training lasted 11 hours, and during the flight, half a squadron of military aircraft of the Russian Federation was accompanied by Japanese aircraft. Information about the training flight of two Tu-95MS appeared on the network in the afternoon of October 24. In the video published by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, we can see the moments of preparation and take-off of the planes: the camera shows a close-up fragment of the hull and visible traces of rust.

Then — a few minutes of flight accompanied by Russian fighter jets. Also, the Japanese planes, which were monitoring the actions of the Russians, were recorded. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation wrote that long-range aviation crews regularly patrol the skies over the water spaces from the Black Sea to the Pacific Ocean and the North Atlantic. In addition, they fly over the Arctic, the Baltic Sea, etc.

The Joint Staff of the Japanese Army reacted to the actions of the Russian T-95MS. It is emphasized that there was an "emergency takeoff" of fighters of the Air Defense Forces. The agency published a photo of bombers and fighters of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and showed the flight path.

We see that the Russians took off from Vladivostok, moved towards the island of Honshu, approached the largest Japanese island at a distance of 100-200 km, then turned to the northeast and flew along the shores of Hokkaido, and then returned to the Russian Federation. The approximate length of the trajectory of the Russian planes, which was shown by the Joint Staff, is about 1,500 km.

It should be noted that on October 21, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation conducted nuclear forces training, in which the entire "nuclear triad" took part. In particular, the Yars intercontinental missile capable of flying 11,000 km was launched, the Bryansk submarine launched the Syneva missile, and Tu-95MS aircraft took off loaded with nuclear missile carriers. Meanwhile, a remote dialogue took place between Trump and Putin.

The White House announced the introduction of sanctions on two Russian companies — Lukoil and Transneft. In response, a statement appeared from the head of the Kremlin, who promised to respond and assured that the actions of the USA will not affect or stop the Russians in any way. During a meeting with the media, Trump learned about Putin's reaction and replied that he would "see" how the Russian Federation would cope.
