Pooty poot continues the most dangerous game-AIRWARS


Russian Fighter Jet Nearly Collides with U.S. Spy Jet Over Europe


U.S. protests ‘reckless’ aerial encounter over Baltic Sea
A Russia Su-27 jet fighter flew dangerously close and nearly collided with a U.S. reconnaissance aircraft this week in the latest aerial provocation by Moscow, defense officials revealed to the Washington Free Beacon.The Su-27 conducted the close-in intercept of an RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft in international airspace over the Baltic Sea on Tuesday, said officials. The incident prompted a diplomatic protest.
SU-27

RC-135 Combat Sent

The RC-135 Combat Sen, with it's specialized antennas in the nose, tail and wingtips is designed to measure and calibrate enemy radars and other emitters to SPECIFICALLY help design weapons and sensors to defeat enemy sensing techniques. It is not armed.

This week we have seen Air Force commanders warning that Putin over the Baltic, Atlantic and Pacific is signaling Ivan is a global power. In the Cold War there were MORE than a few collisions, force down, and other ‘incidents’.

Unless there is a KNOWN LINE for professionals NOT TO CROSS, expect more and more of this.

A diplomatic protest?

Does that mean Obama sent Putin a letter promising more flexibility after he has set the dogs on American citizens in the streets of America?

Not too long ago I would have been outraged, but now I find myself sympathizing with the Russians.
