Russian aircraft violating international rules while flying over the Black Sea – Bulgaria

Bulgaria insists that Russian aircraft violated international rules while flying over the Black Sea, but admits that there was no violation of Bulgarian airspace.

The Bulgarian Defence Ministry said Russian aircraft turned off their transponders — communication devices that allow an airplane to be located — and flew without previously announced flight schedules.

A spokesman for Russia's Defence Ministry denied any such violations. He said Russian aircraft followed international rules and always kept their transponders on.
