The ministry said in a statement that a Su-27 fighter jet belonging to the air defense forces intercepted a strategic reconnaissance aircraft of the RC-135 type and two Typhoon fighters belonging to the British Air Force, noting that the foreign military jets changed their course after the Russian fighter approached, and moved away from the Russian borders.
