Ukraine’s Air Force has reported that a Russian MiG-31K fighter jet refuelled twice in the air during a flight on 14 November.

Source: Colonel Yurii Ihnat, the spokesman for the Air Force, on air with the We Are Ukraine TV channel 

Quote: "This is not a record [of an air-raid warning’s duration – ed.], as last time it was 3.5 hours. We face new realities, and they [the Russians] have started doing things like refuelling. This time there were two in the air."

Details: Ihnat urged people not to ignore the air-raid warnings and to stay in shelters until the all-clear is given.

Background: A large-scale air-raid warning was issued in Ukraine due to the take-off of a potential carrier of Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, which lasted for 2 hours and 40 minutes.
