This Sunday, Russian diplomats had to refresh school geography in memory, and this was the guilt of this by Sergei Naryshkin’s plane. Details - at Lifenews:
We are talking about the “dangerous convergence of the French Air Force aircraft in the national airspace with the airliner, which followed the Russian parliamentary delegation, headed by the chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation S.E. Naryshkin in Geneva (Switzerland) to participate in the 133rd Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union.
- The ambassador was expressed a deep concern of the Russian side in connection with what happened. It was emphasized that such actions of Paris undermine the possibility of using France as the venue for multilateral meetings and negotiations, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
The dangerous rapprochement of the Air Force Air Force Air Force with an airplane in which the chairman of the State Duma of Russia was located clearly will not bring the relations of the two countries closer

- Fixing Spirit (@skrepdust) October 19, 2015The French embassy urgently published a joint statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense:
Not a single aircraft of the French Air Force was involved in the incident with the Russian official side, as the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reports.
In this regard, we regret that the Ambassador of France in Moscow was urgently called to the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The issue is being resolved with the Russian authorities.
The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation , Maria Zakharov, quotes "RT in Russian":
We received information from the pilot regarding the fact that their primary information is about the French Air Force. We began to check this information, for which the Ambassador of France to the Foreign Ministry was called. The standard procedure in such cases, because we are talking about the parliamentary delegation, which is headed by the head of the State Duma, which flies to official events. The ambassador took a certain time to clarify the circumstances.
And then there was an unexpected one.

- Cozy edition (@znak_com) October 19, 2015It turned out that the aircraft belonged not to France, but to Switzerland, New Gazeta said :
The military aircraft, which approached the aircraft of the Russian delegation, led by Sergei Naryshkin, belonged to the Switzerland Air Force, TASS reports with reference to the representative of the Federal Department of Defense, Protection of the Population and Sports. Thus, the call of the ambassador of France to the Russian Foreign Ministry in connection with this incident was erroneous.
The Swiss side confirmed that its F/A-18 military aircraft approached the Russian liner in the Swiss airspace in the Bill city. According to the official representative of the department, Peter Minder, the military aircraft approached the side to identify the ship. According to him, about 100 such checks per year are carried out in Switzerland.
“It was a standard procedure adopted in Switzerland. There is nothing unusual in this,” Minder said.
He explained that rapprochement with the aircraft was one of the procedures of standard police control in the air, and there was no danger to the passengers of the aircraft.

- Victor Artemov (PEM) (@Grosstok) October 20, 2015This is a classic: the Russian Foreign Ministry accepted the French ambassador ... for Swiss
The Ministry of Hystery Ladies of the Russian Federation
I love such cases-when some joke from childhood suddenly becomes the past, and it is told in all seriousness, say, in the news release.
For example, at the dawn of the cooperative movement (but a couple of years before the cancellation of visiting visas for citizens of the USSR) there was such a joke:
Cooperative "Volya" will rent one meter of the state border of the USSR
After 10 years, I flew to Sheremetyevo-2 and found that B.A. Berezovsky did this literally this: he equipped a commercial departure hall, with a completely separate customs, border service and pre -flight search. That is, he literally leased a section of the state border about one meter wide. There, even the border guard put on exit stamps without access to the computer. However, by 2001, Berezovsky left, and the computer, on the contrary, was connected, and all Lafa was over.
And the most fresh such case was just yesterday.
The original joke sounded like this:
Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev took the French ambassador for Swiss and had a long, long conversation with him.
Exactly in such insanity, the Russian Foreign Ministry hit the Russian Foreign Ministry, only instead of a long conversation between France's Saterials, they protested about the presence of a Swiss border of the Swiss military aircraft among the Swiss border. "It was emphasized that such actions of Paris undermine the possibility of using France as a place of multilateral meetings and negotiations," they told about this marvelous meeting on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
I don’t know if the French ambassador was as ridiculous as me, when explanations came from the Foreign Ministry, and the page with threats to Paris hastily disappeared from the website of the department.
Today we are waiting for the same threats to Switzerland. Suddenly, at least they are scared that Valentina Ivanovna will no longer come to them for negotiations.
Somehow, yesterday did not ask the delegation of the Parliament of the Russian Federation, flying on a visit to Geneva, to the Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union. Everyone already knows the appearance of an unknown fighter nearby, led by the Lord, Comrade Naryshkin, a comrade Naryshkin. But this fact does not touch the extravaganza that accompanied this event at the bridgehead of clarification of interstate relations yesterday.
Thus, heated by discontent in a hurra-patriotic layers, in which it burned no worse than that of the homeowner on the outskirts of Pompei, the Russian Foreign Ministry called the French ambassador to clarify "what was it?" (used, for some time, official jargon of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation). It is not clear exactly what kind of civilian passengers were able to determine the aircraft belonging to the French Air Force, but the first blow of the diplomatic department was inflicted precisely on the representative of this country.
As a result, the French answered in such a form familiar to the Russians - "It was not us!" And so, the Russian Foreign Ministry already apologizes to the fraternal France, simultaneously threatening Switzerland with a fist, so much that the former Enross Kostya Rykov, which is violently reflecting on the Russian Air Force in Syria, already proposes to throw a country holding all world capital for egg ... ahem, throat, missiles.
In turn, the press secretary of the Federal Department of Switzerland on Defense, Civil Security and Sports Peter Minder said that for the Swiss Air Force, a similar procedure is standard. He flew up, looked into the porthole, flew away. Well, the fact that Naryshkin and the company had a Mini Moszhechka Mini - this is no longer their problem.
Actually, the advice of Russian parliamentarians, who will soon sound the alarm even at the sight of a pigeon flying by or flock of the Sterhs - stock up on Validol's flights. Well, or as an option - get drunk in the insole (which is more characteristic of Russian passengers) in order to oversleep and not to disturb both neighbors and the public all the time.
The Swiss military aircraft got closer to the aircraft, on which the Russian delegation flew. To the question of the parliamentary correspondent of Rain, Sergei Naryshkin replied that he had not seen him. “No, I worked with documents,” answered the State Duma speaker. This, all the same, is an amazing style, think that, should always know everything and answer any question with a serious face. Naryshkin could not just not look out the window or, let's put it on. Only documents could distract him from the incident of a worthy call of the ambassador. It is necessary to immediately put large bosses immediately on the wing, along with the documents, so that they work and follow the air situation.
Naryshkin as a schoolgirl of puberty, constantly offended by someone, then on the Finns, now he arranged a tantrum to the French without understanding

- Konstantin Rykov (@rykov) October 19, 2015 The funniest in this whole story with Naryshkin is that Switzerland, it turns out, has military aircraft.
- Anna Tarakanova (@n_barmaleykina) October 19, 2015The actions of either French or Swiss aviation are condemned by experts of the Parliamentary newspaper:
The director of the Aviation Educational Center of the RSUFKSMIT Alexander Solodovnikov explained that according to the norms prescribed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the aircraft following the international air routes should not be dangerous. The norms are also regulated in detail at what distance and distance should aircraft follow in longitudinal, vertical and lateral echeloning.
“In the airspace, which is controlled by the dispatch services, the difference between the aircraft, for example, should be ten or twenty kilometers in longitudinal echeloning,” the expert said. - If at least a kilometer is closer, this is already a violation.
According to the former pilot, the rapprochement of a civil liner with a high -speed fighter by at least five kilometers is very dangerous. “If a reactive plane flies ahead, the liner can fall into a downward trace - the indignant area of the air formed behind the moving aircraft,” he said. “Military aircraft with a wing of a variable assault on large corners are very strong.”
In any case, the expert believes, the incident must be carefully investigated to establish a deliberate provocation, or it was a gross mistake of the military pilot.
According to a military expert, Igor Korotchenko, editor -in -chief of the National Defense magazine, cannot exist for the actual interception of the Russian aircraft. "The incident looks like rude and provocative actions. The Russian plane went on the established train and all the necessary approvals were, of course, received," he said to the "parliamentary newspaper." The expert is sure that the Russian Foreign Ministry should do everything possible to exclude the repetition of similar incidents in the future.
What was it? France in such an original way tries to avoid further participation in the Norman format in Paris? Or is it a subtle game on the western nerves of the Russian elite, when they are beckoning with one pen, they say, let's have discharge, arrive, let's talk, and the second click on the nose? This episode of the threats to shoot down the English Air Force in Syria in Russian aircraft, transmitted through the Motor Boulevard Journal with reference to the military source and caused the nervous reaction of our Foreign Ministry, and a week before the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, Peskov, impressively stated that he would no longer respond to “sources” in the Western media. The same thing in essence happened with Medvedev’s sending Putin to Obama, when it is not clear why it was publicly proposed to send to Obama for negotiations in Syria the Russian delegation, headed by the hero of Libya, Prime Minister Medvedev. Then, I remind you, Obama, through his secretary Ernest in the boorish manner, refused the Russian delegation in the reception, calling this proposal "Putin's despair." I would venture to assume that before publicly announcing such a proposal, one of the large "our Western partners" whispered in the ear that, they say, send Medvedev, we will agree with him. This, apparently, is a kind of psychological game from the West, a sort of training, a mixture of mockery and loosening of nerves. When the type of proud and sovereign Russian elites in the ear are not invited to negotiations, and then, when they are already sitting out of this table under the task at the last moment, a chair is pulled out and the collective Russian elite falls with a roar to the floor. Everyone laughs, and and the Russian elite is indignant and threatens with curses, but it cannot do anything, because it has no other desire, except entering the West. She wants to be an equal partner, and therefore passing the grudge from humiliation, she again and again looking for a meeting and channels for contacts.
PS, another important lesson, it seems to me, from the situation with the French trick, should be ensuring the security of a person on which the political and the rest of the stability of our country critically depends, president Putin is meant. Without direct parallels, I remind you that another Russian ruler, on whom in a sense, the stability of the system, Joseph Stalin, never went abroad in the territory in a sense that would not fully control the Soviet troops and the NKVD, here that Tehran-43, that Potsdam-45.
PPS turned out to be not the French, but the Swiss. We already apologized (confident not without internal relief) to the French and strictly ask the Swiss.
Well, the most sound reaction to what happened looks something like this.
And what a hysteria? Let our threads be accompanied by:/Switzerland explained the approach of the fighter to the Naryshkin aircraft https://t.co/xw8atzcers
