For the second time this week, and the fourth time already this month, Russia’s Defense Ministry reported that a Su-27 fighter intercepted a pair of US surveillance planes over the Black Sea. The planes were in neutral waters, but were approaching the Russian border.
The Su-27 in the area are getting a lot of wok lately, with US planes heavily active in the area. US officials are said to be looking to enhance their Black Sea presence, Most of the planes are US Navy planes, launched presumably from ships.
It is not unusual for the US or Russia to use planes to test one another’s air defenses, but the number of such incidents by US planes in this small area is very extreme, suggesting that the US has particular designs on the area.
NATO has in particular wanted an active naval presence in the Black Sea, though the limited number of Black Sea states in NATO makes this difficult to accomplish in any meaningful amount.
Shoulda used their S-400 missiles to blow those planes out of the sky.
Our planes are equipped with boomerang shields which automatically deflect missiles back to the source of firing. We are miles of ahead of the Russians technology wise.
The Russians just developed the double boomerang that resends the boomeranged missile back to where it was originally boomeranged from. It was all over the news.
So was the smash hit song by Charlie Drake in 1961 “My boomerang won’t come back” song was banned in 2015 in Australia for being racist.
A very respectable pro-war perspective.
That’s what we’d do.
Russian jets approach US territory, get intercepted, and go in the other direction un-fired upon, on a regular basis.
The main difference is that the Russians don’t make nearly as big a propaganda deal about it when the US does it.
Today Russian Su-27 intercepted 2 US aircraft for 3rd time this week.
Maybe the Russians should start using their electronic jamming capabilities.
Believe me they do. US spyplanes directing “ISIS” UAVs to the Russian bases in Syria regularly goes blind & deaf and their swarming UAVs crash to the ground. Same thing happens to US warships all the time and they can’t do sh*t about it. Russia is lightyears ahead of the yanfags in this and many other regards, such as missile tech f.ex.
Agree, remember the incident with the USS Donald Cook in the Black sea in 2014
As a Russian jet approached the US vessel, its electronic device disabled all radars, control circuits, systems, information transmission, etc. on board the US destroyer.
The all-powerful Aegis system, now hooked up – or about to be – with the defense systems installed on NATO’s most modern ships was shut down, as turning off the TV set with the remote control.
The Russian Su-24 then simulated a missile attack against the USS Donald Cook, which was left literally deaf and blind. As if carrying out a training exercise, the Russian aircraft – unarmed – repeated the same maneuver 12 times before flying away.
After that, the 4th generation destroyer immediately set sail towards a port in Romania.
I “remember” the story that such a thing happened.
Whether the story is true or not is an interesting question.

What spooked the USS Donald Cook so much in the Black Sea?

And? You don’t know whether the ECM actually disabled the Cook any more than I do.
Should save headline since it’s being used so often. Just change the date.
The Black sea is a very dangerous place for the North American Terrorist Organization to be fooling around .
Today, Sunday and for the fourth time this week, Russia’s Su-27SM fighter scrambled over the Black Sea to identify an Italian Navy aircraft approaching the country’s border.
NAT0 has nothing else to do, than burn fuel and hope they can intimidate aggressive Russia.
