And two days later, on June 21, an aircraft of the US aircraft with a side, on which Russian Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu, was heading for Kaliningrad, had a closer look at the Baltic Sea.

Commenting on the first case, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the Russian Su-27 fighters intercepted two US Air Force Air Force Neutral waters over the neutral waters of the Baltic Sea. According to the Russian military department, the domestic means of air control were discovered by an American plane, which was moving towards the border of the Russian Federation and tried to get closer to the Su-27. Literally 10 minutes later, another RC-135 entered this zone, which was also intercepted by the Russian Su-27.

As for the second incident, the press said that the Tu-154, at which the head of the Ministry of Defense was located, followed with an escort consisting of Su-27 naval aviation fighters. One of the NATO aircraft tried to approach the board of Sergei Shoigu, but the Su-27 fighter from the escort stood between him and the Russian liner. Su-27 demonstrated missiles, pumping his wings, after which the F-16 went to the side.
