(Reuters) - Armed men took control of two airports in the Crimea region on Friday in what the new Ukrainian leadership described as an invasion and occupation by Moscow's forces, and ousted President Viktor Yanukovich reappeared in Russia after a week on the run.

Yanukovich said Russia should use all means at its disposal to stop the chaos in Ukraine as tension rose on the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, the only region with an ethnic Russian majority and the last major bastion of resistance to the overthrow of the Moscow-backed leader.

More than 10 Russian military helicopters flew into Ukrainian airspace on Friday over Crimea, Kiev's border guard service said, accusing Russian servicemen of blockading one of its units in the port city of Sevastopol, where part of Moscow's Black Sea fleet is based.

A serviceman at the scene confirmed to Reuters he was from the Black Sea Fleet and said they were there to stop the kind of protests that ousted Yanukovich in Kiev.

The fleet denied its forces were involved in seizing one of the airports, Interfax news agency reported, while a supporter described the armed group at the other site as Crimean militiamen.

(Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin demanded and won his parliament's approval on Saturday to invade Ukraine, where the new government warned of war, put its troops on high alert and appealed to NATO for help.

Putin's open assertion of the right to send troops to a country of 46 million people on the ramparts of central Europe creates the biggest confrontation between Russia and the West since the Cold War.

Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk, leading a government that took power after Moscow's ally Viktor Yanukovich fled a week ago, said Russian military action "would be the beginning of war and the end of any relations between Ukraine and Russia".

This is not vietnam and they are not shooting at snipers. context,man,context!
Huh...I'll simply chalk it as a weird show of intimidation. Rifle and MG armed soldiers should have been enough,though.

but Russians,man...You'll never know what they are thinking.

Why did it take 3 days for TUDM to tell everyone the plane is on the other side of the peninsula?

Imo, camm is worth looking at.
Besides camm naval variant would be a good replacement for our lekiu class sam.

Other system I would look at would be iris-t sl
Meads semm gooding to couple with our madge sociii.

Pantsir and Tunguska M1 not bad.
I would to see tunguska weapons install on av8.

Search area is just a general area, i think from last comm with the plane they know where is it now, the person responsible for the plane disappearance might watch the news too.
