Two Russian fighters breach Japanese airspace | Aviation & Air Force News at DefenceTalk

Two Russian fighters violated Japanese
airspace on Thursday, Tokyo's defence
ministry said, prompting Japan to scramble
its own warplanes in what was reported to
be the first such incident in five years.
The planes were detected off the northern
island of Hokkaido for just over a minute,
shortly after Japan's new prime minister
said he wanted to find a "mutually
acceptable solution" to a decades-old
territorial row between the two.
