ロシア軍哨戒機が日本１周　５年ぶり、空自が緊急発進―防衛省

　防衛省は１２日、ロシア軍のＴＵ１４２哨戒機２機が日本をほぼ１周する形で長距離飛行したと発表した。航空自衛隊の戦闘機が緊急発進（スクランブル）して対応した。
　ロシア軍機が日本をほぼ１周したのは２０１９年６月以来。１９年は爆撃機２機が飛来し、沖縄・南大東島と東京・八丈島付近で２回領空侵犯した。（2024/09/12-20:38）

Two Tu-142 Russian maritime patrol aircraft flew along Japan's coast on Thursday, prompting the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force to scramble fighter jets in response, Japan's Defense Ministry said.
   The Russian aircraft came from airspace over the Sea of Japan and passed through the Tsushima Strait to the East China Sea, according to the ministry's Joint Staff.
   The aircraft reached skies over the Pacific after flying between the main island of Okinawa Prefecture and Miyako Island in the southwestern prefecture, before heading north to the sea off the northernmost prefecture of Hokkaido.
   They then departed for the Eurasia continent via the Northern Territories.
   It was the first flight along the coast of Japan by Russian military aircraft since June 2019, when two Russian bombers entered Japan's airspace twice.
