 Russian fury at NATO 'air attacks'
Quote:
MOSCOW, Russia (AP) -- Russia's air force chief has accused NATO fighters escorting Russian bombers on patrol flights over neutral waters of violating safety rules.
Col.-Gen. Alexander Zelin said on Saturday that NATO aircraft were approaching Russian bombers too closely and too often, creating risky situations.
"They approach our strategic bombers at unacceptable distances and at unacceptable intervals, conduct various maneuvers around them and violate flight safety rules in every way," Zelin was quoted by the Interfax news agency as telling reporters Saturday.
No one answered the phone at the Air Force's press service Saturday.
An increasingly assertive Moscow is seeking to showcase its military might and clout in the international arena.
