Russian Military Flying Over America! Operation ‘Open Skies’ Will Run From July 7th To July 21st thecontroversialfiles.net The Russian military is now conducting Operation ‘Open Skies’ over America and Canada until the 21st of July according to this story from ‘Voice of Russia’. According to the story , these flights are for the purpose of ‘assisting openness and transparency’, something that American citizens haven’t gotten from our government in many years, even after the promises delivered to us by our own President, who has established a policy of ‘cracking down’ on those delivering ‘openness and transparency’. What are these flights really about? A group of Russian inspectors will conduct observation flights on a Tu-154M Lk-1 plane over the United States and Canada in the framework of the international Open Skies Treaty, the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry said. “The flights will be carried out on July 7-21 from Open Skies airfield Elmendorf [the US] and Trenton [Canada],” the press office said. Such observation flights are performed in order to assist the openness and transparency in the military activities of treaty state members and to enhance security through strengthening trust measures, the press office said. The flights will fly a previously approved route and US and Canadian specialists on board will control the use of observation equipment and implementation of agreements which have been reached. Under the treaty, each aircraft flying under the Open Skies program is fitted with a sensor suite, and image data recorded during the observation flights can be shared among all signatories to support the monitoring of compliance with existing or future arms control treaties.
