Russian reconnaissance aircraft violates Ukrainian airspace

Russian reconnaissance aircraft on December 21 flew along the Russian-Ukrainian border and violated the Ukrainian airspace over the Black Sea area, a journalist and ATO veteran Vitaliy Lazebnyk wrote on Facebook.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UAA1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The flight of the Russian reconnaissance aircraft Tu-214R is recorded by Flightradar24 online open service.

In particular, the aircraft moved south along the Russian-Ukrainian border, later violating the airspace of Ukraine, flying over the Russian-occupied territory of Crimea.

"Cool flight. The work of a Tu-214R reconnaissance aircraft on the Russian-Ukrainian border and beyond it. The plane flew, as I understand, in the Ukrainian economic zone of the Black Sea," Lazebnyk said, stressing that it was "a military plane."
