JAKARTA - Two Russian pilots from Pobeda Airlines were investigated for carrying out several maneuvers in the air so that they were caught on radar resembling a penis.

They did this in protest against the ban imposed on Zenit Saint Petersburg captain Artem Dzyuba.

The Russian striker was sentenced by the Russian national team after a video showing him masturbating went viral. Dzyuba masturbates on his bed.

"This may be the way the Pobeda captains gave their support to Russian team captain Artem Dzyuba and showed their attitude towards him being bullied," said a spokesman for the airline.

The penis-shaped maneuver was recorded in software from a flight over the city of Neftekamsk, as the pilot made several rounds during a flight from Moscow to Yekaterinburg on November 11.

A Federal Air Transport Agency report indicates that pilots requested permission to perform aerial maneuvers 'out of need to check radio navigation equipment'. As a result of this incident, Aeroflot's national flight was 20 minutes late in Yekaterinburg.

Oleg Panteleev, executive director of the agency Aviaport, told the RBC news agency that checks were underway whether the crew had actually received permission to maneuver this unusual around Neftekamsk and if so whether the turn in the sky was a threat to safety.

The investigation will also check whether the crew is violating any boundaries of ethical behavior.

Separately, the FSB security service is investigating whether the 32-year-old Zenit player was extorted of US $ 5 million over the viral video that was allegedly hacked from his cellphone.
