Russian missile-carrying planes perform patrol missions off the Far East coast

Two Russian nuclear-capable missile-carrying bombers have conducted routine patrol flights over the Sea of Okhotsk and the Bering Sea off Russia’s Far East, according to the TASS news agency.

The Tu-95MS strategic bombers carried out a planned fly over the neutral waters as part of the “surprise combat readiness inspection of the Pacific Fleet,” according to a statement from the Kremlin.

The ministry noted that the crews of the strategic bombers will continue conducting airborne patrols in other regions.

It also stressed that the Russian aircrafts were carrying out their flights in “strict compliance with the international rules of using the airspace over neutral waters”.

“During their patrol, the missile-carrying bombers conducted mid-air refuelling from an Il-78 aerial refuelling tanker,” a statement from the ministry reads.
