Air Force Denies
Russian Planes
Flew Over Japan
TOKYO, —The newspaper
Yomiuri said Saturday Russian
jet fighters and bombers have
flown over northern Japan “at
least 10 times since May.
The U.S. Air Force denied the
report.
A Japanese military intelligence
officer said the story holds some
truth. He would not elaborate.
Yomiuri, one of Japan5s three
largest newspapers, said that the
planes had flown over Hokkaido,
Japan’s northernmost main is
land. It said the flights included
Mig-17 fighters and IL-28 jet
bombers.
A two-paragraph statement de
nying the report was issued by
the U.S. Far East Air Force. It
said: “There is no foundation to
the news story which reports
overflights of Japanese territory
by Communist aircraft.
“Air Defense has maintained a
24-hour alert and are ready to
intercept any aircraft wilfully vi
olating the air space of Japanese
islands.”
The newspaper did not give any
source for its report. It quoted an
unnamed Japanese defense agen
cy official as saying such flights
might be aimed at testing radar
defenses and U.S. Air Force re
action.
