Author Topic: Russian Federation to conduct Flights over the US  (Read 1578 times)

So apparently Russia will be conducting Surveillance flights in US airspace as part of the "open skies" agreement. So if you see Russian aircraft over your house, don't worry.

This is the plane they'll be using under careful US observation


What is your opinion on this?

I doubt the common person can tell between a Russian and American aircraft.

Well NATO flys over nearly every country with or without permission or purpose..
This seems fair

As long as they are not military aircraft I am fine with it, what's the worst they could do, disguise a bomber as a civilian aircraft and bomb us? come on guys.



Oh I'm familiar with that plane.

It's a TFFTT.
