Patrolling the Black Sea was a response to US actions
At a press conference in Beijing, Putin stressed that the decision to patrol was a precautionary measure. Aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces took up permanent duty in the Black Sea after it became known about the transfer of long-range Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles to Ukraine from the United States.
This is not a threat – what I am now announcing: on my instructions, the Aerospace Forces begin patrolling on a permanent basis in the neutral zone of airspace over the Black Sea
Experts believe that Kyiv could have old modifications with a range of 150-300 kilometers at its disposal. The Kinzhal hypersonic missile system consists of a rocket and a carrier aircraft. MiG-31K fighters carry ammunition with a range of more than three thousand kilometers.
This US reconnaissance drone has been repeatedly seen off the coast of Crimea
The RQ-4B Global Hawk drone, which gave an alarm signal, has already been repeatedly recorded off the coast of Crimea. In particular, he appeared there on September 22, the day when the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, and his presence was also recorded two days after the attack. Previously, he was spotted in the same area at the end of August.
