Pentagon Admits Russian Fighter Flew Within 30 Meters Of US Spy Plane

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


While Russia’s “Top Gun” drills were underway on the borders of eastern Europe, it appears the Russian air force was practicing “unusually close flying” in another continent. As Bloomberg reports, the U.S. RC-135U Combat Sent electronic intelligence plane was “conducting a routine mission off Russia’s east coast near Japan on April 23 when the Russian fighter flew within about 100 feet (30 meters) of its nose. Asked why the Pentagon didn’t disclose the incident until it was reported today by the Washington Free Beacon, spokesman Army Colonel Steve Warren said, “I don’t have a good answer for you.” China and Japan did a similar “Top Gun” move in May.

International waters… but 90% surrounded by Russia…
A Russian Su-27 Flanker fighter jet intercepted a U.S. surveillance plane off Russia’s east coast near Japan in April, flying unusually close, as tensions rose over the Ukraine crisis.
The U.S. RC-135U Combat Sent electronic intelligence plane made by Boeing Co. was conducting a routine mission over the Sea of Okhotsk north of Japan on April 23 when the Russian fighter flew within about 100 feet (30 meters) of its nose, Rear Admiral John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman, said today.
Asked why the Pentagon didn’t disclose the incident until it was reported today by the Washington Free Beacon, spokesman Army Colonel Steve Warren said, “I don’t have a good answer for you.”
Warren said he wasn’t aware of any other close encounters since “this incident” between Russian and U.S. aircraft in the region.
Russian Air Force spokesman Igor Klimov said he couldn’t comment immediately when reached by phone today.
Pentagon officials have expressed their concerns about the intercept to the Russian military, Kirby said.
Japan and China on Sunday accused each other’s air forces of dangerous behavior over the East China Sea, with Japan saying Chinese aircraft had come within a few dozen meters of its warplanes.
With wars now being fought on stock exchanges, perhaps they just wanted a polaroid…
