By Tyler Durden: Yesterday, we reported the latest attempt to recreate Top Gun in real life when a Russian Su-27 fighter jet reportedly performed an "unsafe intercept of a US Navy P-3 Orion surveillance plane" while it was flying in international airspace next to Russia, over the Black Sea Monday.
What made this one so special was that Lt. Col. Michelle Baldanza, a spokeswoman for the Pentagon, claimed that the Russian warplane came within five feet of the US spy plane, forcing it to veer off course and end its mission prematurely.
On Tuesday, the US military released the four-second clip, showing the Russian plane presumably passing the American spy plane in question.
The Pentagon reiterated its earlier statement, claiming that the intercept lasted “two hours and 40 minutes.”
In the most recent encounter over the Black Sea, a Russian Su-30 fighter jet made an "unsafe" intercept of a US P-8A Poseidon aircraft in November.

What made this one so special was that Lt. Col. Michelle Baldanza, a spokeswoman for the Pentagon, claimed that the Russian warplane came within five feet of the US spy plane, forcing it to veer off course and end its mission prematurely.She added that the intercept was unsafe because the Russian aircraft dared to cross in front of the Aries spy plane, exposing the American spy plane to the turbulence left in the Su-27's wake.Today we get some video evidence of just how close it was...
As a result, the Aries experienced "a 15-degree roll and violent turbulence." Interrupting the US spying on the Russians.
On Tuesday, the US military released the four-second clip, showing the Russian plane presumably passing the American spy plane in question.
The Pentagon reiterated its earlier statement, claiming that the intercept lasted “two hours and 40 minutes.”
The US once again decried the intercept as unsafe, since the Su-27 was “closing to within five feet [1.5 meters] and crossing directly through the EP-3’s flight path, causing the EP-3 to fly through the Su-27’s jet wash.”

As a reminder, in the past year, there have been several unsafe interactions between Russian and US military forces near the Black Sea, where Russian, US and NATO forces operate in close proximity to one another as a result of the military buildup by both Russia and NATO around Crimea and Eastern Europe.In the most recent encounter over the Black Sea, a Russian Su-30 fighter jet made an "unsafe" intercept of a US P-8A Poseidon aircraft in November.
The Russian jet's actions were deemed unsafe because the aircraft crossed in front of the US plane from right to left while engaging its afterburners, forcing the P-8 to enter its jet wash, an action that caused the US plane to experience "a 15-degree roll and violent turbulence," according to Lt. Col. Michelle Baldanza, a spokeswoman for the Pentagon.The last reported incident between US and Russian aircraft occurred in December above Syria, when US F-22s intercepted Russian attack jets after they flew over the de-confliction line intended to ensure safety. The US jets fired warning flares during the intercept of the two Russian Su-25 close air support jets after they crossed the de-confliction line multiple times. At the time, Russia's Ministry of Defense issued a statement denying the incident took place west of the de-confliction line, accusing the F-22s of interfering with the flight of the Su-25s while they were operating along the western bank of the Euphrates River.

Dear Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa/U.S. 6th Fleet, ...It's
about time someone stood up to you US Zio-Neo-Con-Artist warmongers. Just got a
whiff of the stench of your US lesser of two evils Trump's new secret baby
killing program. stgeorgewest.blogspot.co.uk/2018/01/trumps-secret-baby-killing.html
...What a bunch of murderous pussy hat wearing cunts the USA has become. I
guess the Tripoli Clinton pussy hats are the modern day version of bread and
circuses eh? I vote for the US war machine to fuck off back to the USA and that
goes for the others with war bases all over the place including our lot here in
the UK, France et al. Fuck off back home and do a wholesome job like protecting
your own borders rather than attacking those of others, you murderous bastards.
Love from the UK. If some of the Jewish owned lame-stream media would find
their balls or ovaries pretend to be journalists and not just weak assed
Channel 4 v J Peterson Straw men, …you know, hold our domestic and allies war
mongers to account that would be useful too. If they can unfasten their lips
from around the mutilated Zio-warmonger cock of lies for a moment... But I see
your pals are doing a good job of suppressing the fact that the beans have
already been spilled on the CIA subjugation of Western lame-stream media... https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-03-28/top-german-journalist-admits-mainstream-media-completely-fake-we-all-lie-cia

Should we have taken off the kid gloves? Are they water boarding 'non-violent extremist' UK citizens yet? Watch this space...
