It's a pretty technical question, and to start with, it's definitely not my cup of tea. To be pretty clear, I've never flown any military plane, not a single time in my life. I understand they should have something like what you're talking about, definitely. If I understand you correctly, you're implying that the planes of whatever country might fly in the extreme vicinity, up to centimetres of the restricted zone of national airspace. In most cases none of the international players do that. As a matter of fact, American flights or American aircraft or NATO aircraft with, as a matter of fact, Canadian crews on board do fly in the very vicinity of St. Petersburg on a regular basis, on pretty much the same legal basis, which I've mentioned, because there are no restrictions on doing that. Naturally, we would both prefer not to have those flights at all, theoretically, but that means we'll just push ahead with the disarmament and we'll specifically focus on the bombers. Well, the Russian side has indicated many times that we are in favour of radical reductions of the bombers of, first and foremost, the Russian and American air forces, no doubt.
