Every week there are 20-30 Western reconnaissance planes in the air near the Russia-Belarus border.
(Baonghean.vn) - Belarus security official Pavel Muraveiko added: "Currently, 20-30 reconnaissance aircraft fly in the airspace of the Baltic countries and Poland every week."
The West has increased its aerial reconnaissance near the Russian-Belarusian border by 10 times in recent years, TASS news agency reported on April 25.
“Before 2021, two to four spy planes flew in the airspace of the Baltic states and Poland every week. They conducted reconnaissance over our territory, traveling 600-700 kilometers into Russian territory, and sometimes up to 1,200 kilometers,” he said on the sidelines of an international security conference in St. Petersburg.
According to Mr. Muraveiko, reconnaissance activities against Russia and Belarus have been intensified.
"Today, 20-30 reconnaissance aircraft fly in the airspace of the Baltic states and Poland every week. This depends on weather conditions and other factors. In addition, strategic reconnaissance aircraft from the US mainland also participate in such reconnaissance," the security official pointed out.
