MOSCOW, November 24 (RIA Novosti) – Russian military inspectors will begin a survey flight this week above the United States under the international Open Skies Treaty, Russia’s Defense Ministry has said.
Russian experts will conduct the survey flight over the US territory in a Tupolev Tu-154 M/LK-1 aircraft during the period from November 25 and December 3, a spokesman said.
The flight will start from the Travis Air Force Base, California. Its maximum range will be 4,250 kilometers (2,600 miles).
During the flight, Russian and US specialists will operate surveillance equipment on board of the aircraft as set out in the international Open Skies Treaty.
This will be the 36th survey flight this year made by Russian specialists over the territories of the Open Skies Treaty member states. Russia ratified the treaty in May 2001.
The Open Skies Treaty, which entered into force on January 1, 2002, establishes a regime of unarmed aerial observation flights over the territories of its 34 member states to promote openness and the transparency of military forces and activities.
More Agenda 21 U.N. bullcrap that destroys American sovereignty.. ‘What’s ours is everybody else’s’ is 0bama’s mindset too.

This doesn’t concern me. These days, anything they see will be because we want them to see it.

With luck the weather will be clear and they will get a good look at the sun reflecting off my shiny metal ass.
LOL
We haven’t had national secrets for decades.
Funny that Open Skies was actually an Eisenhower initiative, which Khruschev rejected out of hand, leading to the development of the U-2 and SR-71. Oh the irony now...
Indeed! We have other skunks to watch. In addition to OBOBO, we have an enemy that we can neither vote out, or have fired. That enemy be the so called "NEWS MEDIA", otherwise known as the Mainstream News, or MSN. They MUST be held accountable foe what they have done, or Not done!
I guess this is what Barry meant when he said he would be “more flexible”?
Just use Google Earth.
Who was POTUS and which party was in charge of the U.S. Senate (which is charged with ratifying treaties) in 2002?
I’m actually more concerned with the treaty than the actual flights.
This is a prelude to other devious things concerning America citizenry, you know the home grown terrorists AKA Americans

Just finding the best spot to pop an EMP.
Oh great. Putin’s still looking for me after I gave him that atomic wedgie. We were doing shots of vodka and I told him, “Vlad! Look at the grouse!” He bent over and I pulled his shorts up to Vladivostok.
“Russian military inspectors”
WTH?
This is the first I have heard of this.
The Russians aren’t worried about the US as a free market capitalist adversary. They’re worried we might out-power them as a socialist union.
