Captain Kutepov, so, for your information: target now in the Elizov region, it will be Target 6065 - type unidentified, border violation

Just a moment, just a moment. So.

So this is what we need, it's now been designated a type unidentified target, that is, without identification signal, now tracking 240 somewhere over the Sea of Okhotsk, so, it crossed Elizovo, going to (Sea of Okhotsk heading roughly towards us. I've looked at the plan, we have to check routes of our long-range aircraft, is someone flying there of those long-range aircraft or not? Could that aeroplane be ours? It's already somewhere abeam Noglikov, but closer to Elizovo.

I'll call the zone right away, but they would hardly be there

now.

Well, you haven't opened anything there, no requests from long-range aircraft, right?

Kutepov

Kostenko

No

Kutepov

Kostenko

Well, we need to find out, if one of ours is flying out there.

Uh-huh

Kutepov

Well, that's all

Kostenko

Okay, I'll find out right away

Kutepov

Uh-huh
