Pentagon downplays security risks raised by Russia’s request to fly over US
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon downplayed a request Monday by Russia to fly a spy plane over the continental United States, noting the flights are part of a regular treaty meant to prevent miscalculation about military threats.
The flights are allowed under the 2002 Open Skies Treaty, which permits the 34 countries that signed it to conduct surveillance flights of each other’s military installations or nuclear facilities.
