ABC News Online: Russian jets in mock attack could have been shot down, US Secretary of State John Kerry warns
US Secretary of State John Kerry has warned his country would have been within its rights to shoot down Russian warplanes during what it described as a simulated attack on a US destroyer in the Baltic Sea.
"We condemn this kind of behaviour. It is reckless. It is provocative. It is dangerous," Mr Kerry said in an interview with CNN Espanol and the Miami Herald.
"And under the rules of engagement that could have been a shoot-down.
"People need to understand that this is serious business and the United States is not going to be intimidated on the high seas.
"We are communicating to the Russians how dangerous this is and our hope is that this will never be repeated."
