🇺🇸✈️🇷🇺WP: the head of the Pentagon probably ordered the US pilots to stay away from the Crimea

The newspaper believes that Lloyd Austin apparently told them to be at a distance of about 80.4 km from the peninsula

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin apparently ordered the pilots of the US Air Force not to fly close to the Crimean peninsula, to stay away from it at a distance of about 80.4 km. This was reported on Sunday by The Washington Post, which studied the secret documents of the Pentagon and American intelligence that got on the Internet.

One of them shows a map of the Black Sea, which indicates areas where reconnaissance aircraft can fly. Their borders begin about 19.3 km from the coast of Crimea, "which corresponds to international law," the publication claims. However, an additional line is drawn on the map about 80.4 km from the peninsula marked SECDEF Directed Standoff, which, according to the publication, "indicates that Austin most likely ordered American pilots to keep planes away from the peninsula."

Another document states that in the period from September 29, 2022 to February 26, 2023, French and British aircraft made observation flights over the Black Sea with a crew on board, while the US Air Force used unmanned aerial vehicles, including the RQ-4 Global Hawk, RQ-170 Sentinel and MQ-9 Reaper. As explained in the materials, several such flights were conducted every month. The document has the SECRET/NOFORN stamp, which prohibits transferring it to non-US citizens. It describes in detail Russia's reaction to the flights of American, British and French aircraft.

So, the document describes the incident that occurred on September 29. As the head of the British Defense Ministry, Ben Wallace, claimed earlier, then one of the Russian Su-27 fighters fired a missile in close proximity to the British RC-135 Rivet Joint reconnaissance aircraft, "performing routine patrols" in international airspace over the Black Sea. According to Wallace, he discussed the incident with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. According to the head of the British military department, an inspection conducted by the Russian authorities showed that the missile was fired by the Su-27 by mistake. Moscow has not commented on the incident. The document says that a Russian fighter jet allegedly "almost shot down" a British vehicle off the coast of Crimea. According to the publication, this incident highlights "the balance that Western military officials are trying to maintain: to provide assistance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, collecting information about the course of military operations, without getting involved in a direct conflict with Moscow."

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The Russian Aerospace Forces launched several airstrikes in the Kherson region, the Ukrainian governor of the region, Alexander Prokudin, reports.

“They just struck with guided bombs at Novoberislav, Berislav community. Also, enemy fighters dropped three bombs on the Kizomys of the Belozersky community, the scale of the destruction is being specified.
