Russian fighter jets scared American intelligence officers to death
Russian Su-35 multi-role fighters intercepted an American Poseidon P-8A reconnaissance aircraft in the skies over the Mediterranean Sea and seriously scared the pilots.
This was announced by the press service of the US 6th Fleet, stationed in Naples, Italy, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The American military called the actions of the Russian pilots unprofessional, because the Su-35 “sat” on both sides of the reconnaissance aircraft and did not give it the opportunity to maneuver for an hour.
“This interception was determined to be unsafe and unprofessional due to the actions of the Russian pilots, positioned on each wing of the P-8A at the same time, limiting the P-8A's ability to maneuver safely. This lasted a total of 64 minutes,” the US Navy complained.
PolitNavigator previously reported that American reconnaissance drones and reconnaissance aircraft are scanning the skies over Crimea every day, scouting for Russian air defense systems located on the peninsula and monitoring the situation in the Kerch Strait.
Russian fighter jets scared the crap out of American intelligence officers.
