A military source said today that two Russian anti-submarine TU-142 planes entered the KADIZ... near the southern coast of Jeju Island... four times for a total of one hour and 39 minutes.
No countermeasures were taken after the Russian pilots defined their purpose of flight... in response to the Air Force's warning messages.
