The Russian Defence Ministry has published a video of its planes intercepting American aircraft over the neutral waters of the Black Sea. The footage shows a P-8 Poseidon, RC-135 reconnaissance plane, and KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refuelling aircraft, escorted by a Russian Su-30.
The US warplanes had to change their route and didn't approach the Russian border, the ministry added in a statement.
Moscow stressed that the Russian aircraft carried out its flight in accordance with international laws and regulations.
