A member of the Expert Council of the Board of the Military-Industrial Commission of the Russian Federation said in this regard: It is a side that allows you to see objects on the ground from a distance of several hundred kilometers, and also from this aircraft, you can control attack structures, tactical and strategic aviation, cruise missiles and ballistic ground. “This shows that the United States and NATO, in partnership with Ukraine and Georgia, are preparing for a so-called multi-faceted military operation against Russia.”
He added that NATO, with the help of Global Hawk strategic drones that take off from Sigonella Air Base in Sicily, as well as a Greek RS-135 electronic reconnaissance aircraft stationed daily on Russia’s southern border, They carry out espionage and reconnaissance operations.
The expert stressed that what is currently happening in the Black Sea is not a typical exercise of the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO).
“Previously, there was no such large-scale intervention in the area,” he explained. “B-1B strategic bombers are also involved in these ‘maneuvers.’
According to the report, on November 9 (November 18), a US Air Force “E-8C” reconnaissance aircraft was spotted for ground purposes and to control an attack over the Black Sea. The airspace was patrolled over the Black Sea, while the Russian border was only 35 kilometers long.

They flew over the sea. The exercises included the armed forces of the US regional allies in NATO, which included Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria, as well as Ukraine and Georgia.
The report concludes that on Sunday last week, the Mont Whitney command post and the Porter destroyer entered the port of Batumi, and the Russian Defense Ministry said that what was happening seemed unplanned to create a multinational group of The armed forces are near the Russian border.
The report comes as Dmitry Polyansky, Russia’s deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, described the behavior of US warships in the Black Sea as “provocative.”
The Russian official said that the behavior of these ships is provocative and it is becoming more and more difficult to prevent direct clashes.
On the other hand, the United States has justified its provocative behavior in the Black Sea, claiming that Russia may be considering a possible attack on Ukraine, given the escalating tensions between Moscow and the European Union over migrants and energy supplies.
Russia says the deployment of troops on its borders is an internal matter and has nothing to do with any offensive plans. Moscow has also criticized the United States for escalating tensions by bringing its ships to the Black Sea.
The United States and the NATO alliance made similar allegations against Russia this spring. The West claimed at the time that Russia had deployed about 100,000 troops and military equipment, such as tanks and fighter jets, near the Ukrainian border.
Polyansky said Russia’s position on not planning to invade Ukraine would remain in place as long as Kiev or other countries did not take steps to force Russia to defend its national sovereignty.
