U.S. Complains That Aggressive Russian Su-35 Buzzed Peaceful US Spy Plane Off Syrian Coast

A Russian fighter jet intercepted a U.S. Navy aircraft at close range over the Mediterranean Sea on April 15.

U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa claimed that a U.S. P-8A Poseidon aircraft, used for tracking submarines, was peacefully flying in international airspace when a BIG BAD Russian SU-35 performed a high-speed, inverted maneuver 25 feet in front of the Navy plane.

“On April 15, 2020, a U.S. P-8A Poseidon aircraft flying in international airspace over the Mediterranean Sea was intercepted by a Russian SU-35. The interaction was determined to be unsafe due to the SU-35 conducting a high-speed, inverted maneuver, 25 ft. directly in front of the mission aircraft, which put our pilots and crew at risk. The crew of the P-8A reported wake turbulence following the interaction. The duration of the intercept was approximately 42 minutes.

While the Russian aircraft was operating in international airspace, this interaction was irresponsible. We expect them to behave within international standards set to ensure safety and to prevent incidents, including the 1972 Agreement for the Prevention of Incidents On and Over the High Seas (INCSEA). Unsafe actions‎ increase the risk of miscalculation and potential for midair collisions.

The U.S. aircraft was operating consistent with international law and did not provoke this Russian activity.”

The US was not so concerned when it was supporting terrorists in Syria and invaded the country under pretext of combating terrorists in fact supported by the US (at least for some time). However, now, when despite the US efforts, the country is on the brink of the victory over the terrorism, the US has become concerned over the ‘international law’.

“U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa claimed that a U.S. P-8A Poseidon aircraft, used for tracking submarines, was peacefully flying in international airspace when a BIG BAD Russian SU-35 performed a high-speed, inverted maneuver 25 feet in front of the Navy plane”.

A manoeuvre popularised, of course, by Maverick (Tom Cruise) in the American film “Top Gun”.

Obviously flying inverted “2 metres” from a Communist aircraft is perfectly safe, and indeed necessary. But the horror! should a “Communist” return the favour.

Of course Russia has not been a communist (or socialist) nation for 30 years… but most Americans don’t yet know that.

Indeed. Unfortunately most Americans get their history lessons from the Disney channel, Clown News Network and Cornflake boxes…

Yes all very true, other than the Russian Su-35S fighter buzzed a Neocommunist states P-8A spy plane, operating many 1000’s of miles away from it’s own continent.

Most Americunts are dump, they have no idea there is even another world outside of their borders!

Raptar Driver

America is far more Marxist, but most Americans don’t yet know that.

The Yankees are screwed, they are at the last stage of decadence, they just have to cry and complain, this is literally their end and I enjoy.

Dick Von Dast'Ard

Always seems a direct correlation between P-8’s and drone attacks on Hmeimim Air Base.

Perhaps Russian patience has just run out and a proper bitch-slap was dealt out to the Yank’s?

occupybacon

Russians wouldn’t dare to aproach id it was an Israeli plane

Dick Von Dast'Ard

You mean to say the P-8 crews aren’t manned by Jew-boy (or rather eastern European heritaged reject wannabes) idolizing cock suckers anyway?

occupybacon

We don’t know but Russia never aproach Israeli planes. Or they have to live Syria the next day.

One time in 2018… Maybe from mistake, they were not aware of each other. Btw it was before or after S-200 missile took down Russian spy plane?

LOL!!!

Spoiled children tend to complain a lot when their toys are upstaged by another.

If inversion was good enough to brag about in US propaganda films, it’s good enough for Russian pilots.

Franck Vadim

Ah, those Russians… so wicked to such innocent Americans…

John

Poor babies …………… this stuff went on all of the time when I served. Shut up, suck it up and get back to doing your recon under stress. Welcome to the military jackasses.

shylockracy

Why publish Zioterrorist propaganda? The Russians have a base there, this is common practice. No need to reproduce press releases of Pentagon terrorists.

fayez chergui
