Before closing of the show in the territory of Zhukovsky airfield confidential for visitors the secret services have detained two citizens of the Netherlands. This is already the second such incident such at MAKS airspace shows for the last few years, Life.ru adds.
As it became known to the online paper from sources in Russian law enforcement bodies, the tourists from Holland have "casually” entered a confidential hangar. As Zhukovsky is a military airfield, all premises there are confidential, according to the source of Life.ru. Exhibition halls were allocated specially for the MAKS-2009 airspace show. The remained hangars have remained the secret technical zones.
The two Dutchmen got into one of such confidential hangars. The rapid reaction group detained infringers and delivered them to the operative staff.
At the check the citizens of the Netherlands have produced the documents certifying that they are employees of an Internet edition 4 Airplans which specializes in planes. They explained that they have noticed from the accessible territory the planes which have been not intended for display (there are many airplanes in the closed premises) and have decided to take pictures there.
According to the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), the two infringers have already been noticed at an air show in Zhukovky last year. To avoid a scandal all the pictures made in the technical zone were removed from the cameras. The two Dutchmen were sent away and warned about the rules of behaviour. They may face problems with obtaining the Russian visa next time, Life.ru marks.
