Tensions between Russia and the United States regarding the airspace over Syria heightened yesterday when an armed Russian fighter jet came within five feet of a U.S. Air Force reconnaissance plant over the Baltic Sea.
U.S. officials said the Russian SU-27 jet was flying “erratically” and approached the Air Force RC-135 “rapidly,” coming within five feet of the U.S plane.
Once alongside, the Russian jet was “provocative” in its flight maneuvers, according to the officials. The jet was armed with air-to-air missiles under its wings.

It’s getting heavy..
Within 5 feet and wings didn’t collide? I guess one above the other then. Just flashing testosterone. It will blow over….
No one wants a war with Russia,least of all Russia! They are fully aware that the US is far superior and could overwhelm them! They’re also aware that a nuke war still means mutual destruction! It’s bluster and testing Trump! The’re fully aware that Trump is no$#%&!@*like Obama!
Don’t see how it could fly that close.
