Russian airspace control equipment detected an air target over the Barents Sea approaching the Russian border. To identify it and prevent her from violating the border, a MiG-31 fighter scrambled, the ministry said. "The crew of the Russian fighter identified the air target as a base patrol aircraft R-8A Poseidon of the Norwegian air force. When a Russian fighter approached, a foreign aircraft made a u-turn from the Russian state border," the ministry said in a statement, adding that there was no violation of the state border.
