The Russian Defence Ministry released a video on Friday showing two long-range Tu-22M3 bomber aircraft performing what was described as a “planned flight” in the airspace over neutral waters in the Baltic Sea.
"Escort was provided by crews of Su-35 and Su-30 fighter aircraft of the Aerospace Forces. The flight duration was about five hours. At certain stages of the route, long-range bombers were accompanied by fighter jets from foreign countries", said the defence ministry in a statement.
