Rossiya 1 channel announced: "Now an urgent report from the Ministry of Defence."Air defence crews on duty detected an unknown air target.
"A MiG-31BM fighter was scrambled to intercept it. Its crew drove the intruder out of our airspace in the area of Cape Svyatoy Nos.” Pro-Putin politicians quickly urged the Kremlin to hit back with a "harsh" response for teetering too close to its top-secret bases.MP Leonid Slutsky, chairman of the international committee of the Russian lower house of parliament and leader of the ultranationalist Liberal Democratic Party of Russia , said: "A reconnaissance aircraft violated Russia’s state border near Cape Svyatoy Nos.
"It looks like those who issue such absurd and provocative orders have forgotten how a British destroyer intruded into Russia’s territorial waters to be stopped by our border guards.“I am convinced that a response to any intrusions will be adequately harsh.”Moscow has previously accused Britain of breaching its territory when this was disputed by the UK Defence Ministry.
