FSB vereitelt Entführung eines Kampfjets Tu-22M3 in die Ukraine
ReplyDeleteRusslands Inlandsgeheimdienst FSB vereitelte die Entführung eines Überschallbombers vom Typ Tupolew Tu-22M3 in die Ukraine, teilt das Zentrum für öffentliche Beziehungen des russischen Geheimdienstes (FSB) am Montag mit.
"Der Föderale Dienst für Sicherheit der Russischen Föderation hat einen weiteren Versuch der ukrainischen Geheimdienste vereitelt, eine Operation zur Entführung eines strategischen Langstreckenbombers Tu-22M3 der russischen Luftstreitkräfte ins Ausland durchzuführen."
Wie es heißt, habe der ukrainische Geheimdienst versucht, einen russischen Militärpiloten mit Geld und der Verleihung der italienischen Staatsbürgerschaft anzuwerben. Der Agent habe ein Kampfflugzeug Tu-22M3 entführen und auf ukrainisches Territorium bringen sollen.
The Russian pilot was offered $3 mln for hijacking the Tu-22M3 strategic bomber, according to the photo of his correspondence with a Ukrainian intelligence officer released by the FSB.
ReplyDelete"You will get three million," the intel agent wrote. The correspondence makes it clear that $1 mln was expected to be paid by the Ukroboronprom defense company. A video released by the FSB showed bundles of US dollars.
The pilot was contacted via the Telegram messenger. "No sense of morality or ethics. They asked me to set aviation equipment on fire and started to threaten my family members," the pilot said in the video. He was also asked to provide information about Russian planes, including their tail numbers and technical condition. "I went to my commanders and told them everything," the pilot said. According to him, the man who contacted him introduced himself as Pavlo; he made no secret of being a Ukrainian intelligence officer. "He suggested I hijack a plane to Ukraine. Not just any plane but a long-range bomber, a carrier of nuclear weapons," the pilot pointed out.
The Tu-22M2 is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing, long-range strategic bomber designed to hit naval and ground targets with missiles and air bombs; it is capable of carrying nuclear and conventional weapons.
