A Russian aircraft recently flew over military facilities across the United States as part of a surveillance flight permitted under the Treaty on Open Skies, several months after U.S. officials denied access to two Russian reconnaissance planes last year.

The Tu-154 aircraft (referred to as “Careless” by NATO) flew over a number of strategic points in the western part of the United States on March 28 and 29, including the highly secure Nellis Test and Training Range (NTTR) in southern Nevada, the location of Area 51, The Drive reported.
