A US surveillance Boeing OC-135B will fly over the territory of Russia between February 25 and March 2 under the Treaty on Open Skies, the Russian Armed Forces’ official newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda said Monday.
The PlaneRadar monitoring portal tweeted last week that another Boeing OC-135B had carried out a surveillance flight over Russia’s Zabaykalsky Krai region on February 21.
According to the newspaper, the jet of the US-UK joint mission will take off from the Khabarovsk airport.
Russian experts will monitor compliance of the flight and equipment on board with the treaty’s provisions, the newspaper said.
