Two Russian Su-35 aircraft intercepted a P-8A Poseidon patrol aircraft assigned to U.S. 6th Fleet over the Mediterranean Sea May 26. The spy plane was flying in the international airspace close to the Syrian coast, where Russia’s Hmeimim airbase located.
The Pentagon said that “the intercept was determined to be unsafe and unprofessional due to the Russian pilots taking close station on each wing of the P-8A simultaneously, restricting the P-8A’s ability to safely maneuver, and lasted a total of 64 minutes.”
“U.S. 6th Fleet, headquartered in Naples, Italy, conducts the full spectrum of joint and naval operations, often in concert with allied and interagency partners, in order to advance U.S. national interests and security and stability in Europe and Africa,” the Pentagon added.
The Pentagon did not provide details on how the US occupation of a part of Syria and attempts to destabilize the entire region by instigating the conflict with Iran contribute to the stability.

They should have shot the dumbass Americunts down. BTW, the SU-30/35 is one cool looking and capable aircraft, undoubtedly the best in the 4.5 generation.
The Russians have such nice, elegant looking war planes. They make western designs look like flying blocky bricks.
And the Russian planes have far more robust landing gear designed to land on more poorly maintained runways.
That F-35C incident where the jet barely managed to make it off the carriers deck, is well worth a view. Could point to a serious lack of power-to-weight ratio under load.
the F-35Cis a flying garbage.
Actually, the new Sukhoi SU-35 is better than anything anywhere in terms of performance and weaponry.
Why didn’t they shoot them down?
Because that way the US crew could tell the heads and others how they shit in their pants for 64 seemingly endless minutes in the P-8A.
They should strike the American plane and start world war 3,what good that will do anyone. Stop talking with ignorant feeling. The US have never strike a Russian military personnel deliberately. Only Turkey was dumb and stupid enough to do such move,the Russian and the US fight is base on one side believe in God and the other dont,using proxy and geography, intellectually decision to overcome the other. I tell you this the US could do what ever it like and the Russian could do whatever they want but is God all mighty (Allah) who give victory to whom it please in order to test the next generation. One of the other will have to switch side and dont exit no more .
So the aircrew of the spy plane were intimidated by a Russian fighter on each wing for 64 minutes. I say these girlie boys (a Schwarzenegger term) learn how to fly straight and level or stay the hell away Syria. I wonder if the US troops in Syria are thinking why they are even in Syria. Probably not, it’s just a paycheck with some hazards. Remember: a private who thinks is a threat and is very dangerous.
The stupid cowardly dumbass Americunts get a headache if you come too close and brain damage if a missile hits closely. The Americunts are the biggest fatass cowards the world has ever seen. BTW, these morons have put on an average of 5 kilos more since the Pimpeovirus.
Battling The ‘COVID-15’: Half Of Americans Fear They’ll Never Get Their Pre-Coronavirus Body Back as they have put on an added five kilos. The US was the most obese nation before the virus and now extreme obesity will take on added morbidity.
Well said. The army is about leaving your brain and your consciousness in the freezer, and serving the empire interests who want nothing to do with you once you come back with legs and arms missing.
Kissinger was telling the truth when he said soldiers are dumb animals used as pawns in foreign policy.
Its a waste, really. US which allows civilian ownership of firearms offers more options outside the military for those eager to hold a firearm and learn survival skills without going over and ruining other peoples’ lives and serving the dark agenda.
US never had business in the Middle East.
CIA trolls will cry and rage :)
sooo dangewous.
The U.S hubris and exceptionalism is over, they just don’t know it yet
They already know this, but they are still trying to do it.
100% true
Back off Ruskis.
Ingrate Zionist cunts, Putin is saving your filthy arses.
Did you noticed he wrote “ruskis” instead of “ruskies” ?
Teenagers tend to do that :)
Meh usa is cockblocking peace in syria, so im ok with giving them a taste of their own medicine.
I hope so, no need for the SAA to get involved it’s not their war. We can only crush Hezbollah if Bibi won’t make any call and Gantz decides everything, Bibi will get IDF soldiers killed for his political power.
Fine job trolling by the Russians with the most badass interceptors in the world today after the Su-57. United States has no business in the Middle East.
‘Unsafe, unprofessional interception..’
Yeah well maybe its time for them to figure out not everyone will let themselves be pushed around.
Another drone attack upon Hmeimim Air Base interdicted.
12 russian air-to-air missiles for a lousy Boeing crap is overkill haha)))
I think, several shots from GSh-30-1 are enough at this distance. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gryazev-Shipunov_GSh-30-1
They are loaded out in standard intercept duty for mid and short range while on readiness pre-alert sitting on a runway ready to go chase off whatever needs be.
If it is flying over Syria’s airspace, then a proper response is to shoot it down.
Both sides knew exactly what they were doing, US needs to buzz off and mind their own biz
