Oh, Yes, Romanians are worse than us — what the MiG-21 in 2020?!

Apparently, this is a response to the flights of two B-1 over the Baltic sea and Scandinavia.

Russian with nothing but a provocation like this, can’t get into the field of view of the civilized world! Now what, cap? It will put something on your feet on a 50-percent broken economy?

Oh, Yes, there is no invasion of someone else’s airspace is an area of exploration. It is absolutely different things, but apparently the policy wording is such that Russian must be bad.

Flew to Turkey to remind Erdogan to buy Russian gas. This year he is 8 times less compared to the previous year bought. “Turkish stream” brought Putin to some losses.

An enumeration of the machines involved in flight, reminiscent of the inventory list in the Museum of aviation.

Insolent, fray our nerves, and we give them the pipe for $ 3 billion.

Most likely, the Russians are still laughing at our aircraft.

“As you get closer to the territory of Bulgaria, the Russian military vehicles were intercepted by Bulgarian MiG-29 that accompanied them as long as they have not left the Bulgarian airspace”… has not yet left the Bulgarian airspace! “Mr Turkey” do not mess up? Or when it comes to Russia, to lie — a question of honor? But the Russian planes didn’t interfere with ours, neither in Romanian nor in the Turkish area. But they are all accompanied until they leave… Small details, which the Ministry of truth cares little.
