Two Russian fighter aircraft intercepted a US Navy patrol plane over the eastern Mediterranean on Tuesday, the US 6th Fleet said.
The Navy released video of the interception, which it called “unsafe and unprofessional.” In it, two Russia Su-35 fighters can be seen close to the wings on both sides of a US Navy P-8A maritime patrol aircraft flying parallel to distant coastline. One of the Su-35s appears to be armed with an air-to-air missile.
