Russia not deploying Tu-22M3 bomber in Crimea
Russia has no plans to deploy Tu-22M3 bombers in Crimea,
Russian Air Force Commander Colonel General Viktor Bondarev said on Monday.
"So far, no such tasks have been set. If we do have
such tasks we will be obliged to fulfil them," he told journalists when
asked about possible deployment of Tu-22M3 bombers in Crimea, reports Tass.
Bondarev said Russia had enough warplanes in Crimea "to
ensure clear blue sky over us."
According to earlier reports, ten Tu-22M3 bombers were
temporarily deployed in Crimea during a surprise combat readiness check this
spring.
