In addition, a group of long-range strategic Tu-22 rocket-carrying bombers with a full ammunition, accompanied by Su-30 fighters, flew in the airspace of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea to work out certain conditional targets for striking.
"Such actions of the Russian Federation aviation are caused, first of all, by reaction to the next stage of command post training in the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and for the purpose of conditional training of the blockade of the Bosphorus Strait," the Ukrainian military said.
