Valiuntovich, so, I'm reporting, in the Elizovo area target No. 60-65, type not yet identified but provisionally an RC- 135, is being shown on the board, tracking 250, it made a zig-zag in the area of Elizovo, I have the distance here somewhere, about 40 km, so, and is now tracking 240, let's say, if you imagine the map of Kamchatka, there, on the cape, that very thin cape there, that thinnest one, there opposite this, about there, the southernmost cape on the peninsula ... nor islands.
And it is tracking 240. Right there, there.
Altitude now 9000, speed 800. Crews on duty at Shkolny and Ugol are ready. At all points ...
... Yes, everything will be okay, our controller at Cape Terpenia track

I'm saying, that is the only time they have taken that route
Uh-huh, so that is exactly what I reported to the controller at the zone, he says none of ours are there
Well, generally, [there are] still Tupolevs, if some sort of Tupolevs could fly across like that. Because there they reported what looked like our aircraft near the target. There.
Well, understood
