Russians, who consider the Black Sea as their personal pond, are returning to Cold War Era confrontations. This time they proved a 50 year old turboprop powered aircraft is no match for a 4th Gen fighter. <\/p>\n

A Russian fighter jet flew dangerously close to a U.S. Navy reconnaissance plane on Monday over the Black Sea, the latest incident showcasing simmering tensions in Eastern Europe between Moscow and Washington.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A Navy EP-3E Aries II reconnaissance aircraft was flying in international airspace when it was intercepted by a Sukhoi Russian Su-27 \u201cFlanker\u201dfighter in an interaction that lasted about 25 minutes, according to a Navy release and interviews with senior officials.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Russian jet conducted \u201ca high speed pass directly in front of the mission aircraft, putting at risk the pilots and crew,\u201d according to the written statement from the 6th Fleet emailed to Navy Times.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThey buzzed us,\u201d added Pentagon spokesman Eric Pahon during a Monday press briefing. \u201cThey got a little too close.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Russian pilot then made an additional pass, zipping close to the U.S. plane\u2019s right side before banking away and applying its afterburner, according to a video of the encounter released by the Navy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThey engaged the afterburners and the whole aircraft shook,\u201d Pahon said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There’s an IR video in the article showcasing the too close pass and banking maneuver. Bad form, Ivan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
