During the flight, the aircraft covered a distance of approximately 4.5 kilometers. “Carcasses” were accompanied by fighters of the Southern Military District of the Russian Federation, but not on the entire route, but only on its individual sections. Long-range aviation pilots also periodically fly over the neutral waters of the Baltic Sea, the Pacific Ocean, the North Atlantic and the Arctic.
