Sergei Tsekov, member of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs, in an interview with RIA News called the violation of Russian airspace by a British reconnaissance aircraft a provocation, replying that it threatened the country’s security.
“This is an undoubted provocation and this, of course, is a 100% threat to us,” the Russian senator said.

The Russian Defense Ministry noted that the crew of the MiG-31 interceptor of the Aerospace Forces (VKS) of Russia forced it out of the country. The military department clarified that an unknown air target heading towards the state border of the Russian Federation was discovered by the duty air defense forces (Air Defense).
