Russian jet passes within feet of US plane
The US has criticised Russia for an “unprofessional” manoeuvre that saw a Russian fighter jet pass within feet of an American plane.
The incident happened when US aircraft intercepted their Russian counterparts high above Alaska.
The US regularly carries out aerial intercepts of Russian aircraft in international airspace near Alaska.
“The conduct of one Russian Su-35 was unsafe, unprofessional, and endangered all – not what you’d see in a professional air force,” Air Force general Gregory Guillot said in a statement posted on X.

Lol u can see the difference of both pilot and plane😂😂
This is professional 😂😂😂
nice driving
That is a strange looking shovel washing machine microchip
That Russian pilot has some skills.
Let em play. It's been a tough couple of years
Awe, isn't that cute, the russian pilot wanted to show off to the Americans. Probably only had 3 weeks training before being let loose in the jet
В этот момент в компрессионке оператора стало тесно от дерьма😂
USA where they shouldn't have been…..Again🙄
Nafo got smacked in the face and now there bots crying in the comments, waa waa waa.😭😭😭😭
If the pilot was unprofessional he would have ended up on the floor.
This is a case of “mind your own business” well done Russia.
Did they wave to each other?
A few metres from world war 3
Hello
Usa ❤
That happens every day folks
These incidents always happen and Russia always has an excuse 🙄
Wuuuu really main headlines. Just F off with your BS scare mongering. It’s normal been doing it since Cold War.
RUSSIAN PLANES WON'T LAST 2MINS AGAINST NATO
I thought Maverick was a Yankee!
Stop taking this crap
Lock on and fox
Soon stop
I know we would all lose (with all the nuclear debris) but who would come out on top in a war between the USA & Russia?
What a legend
sky news with the brain dead propaganda again. 0/10.
nice flying Ivan
US pilot with no proximity warnings on his jet?? Easy target!
Dumb move, straight into the F16s sights. Fun for the pilots though.
Bit different to taking on guys in sandals on the back of horses and landscruisers
Get the f38 out
😂😂😂😂 bully gets bullied
Shouldn't the headline be a US fighter jet approached Russian bommer in international air space and is warned to back of by Russian fighter
Wow.! These Russian pilots are good.!
Go Go Russia
Russians 🗿🗿
That is called a skilled maneuver . 😂 they who work for oil 🛢️🛢️🛢️and dru g smugglers will not know that.
USA Media: Unprofessional 😂😂😂😂😂
The qustion is why the f16 was there in the first place . The us had no rigth to follow the russian bomber the russian figther jet was saying nicelly go away . Air to air language
Just Googled Alaskan air identification zone and found out it has no legal basis and includes international airspace stretching to kilometres from the Russian coast. Looks like the Yanks entered the Russkies' own unilaterally declared ADIZ and got FAFOed.😂
