* Plane carrying Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu was reportedly 'buzzed'
* But Sukhoi-27 soon arrived to warn it off - by tilting wings and showing weapons
* Comes as Sweden summons Russian ambassador today over similar incident
* Dramatic footage has been released which appears to show the encounter
A Russian fighter jet chased off a NATO aircraft after it buzzed a plane carrying defence minister Sergei Shoigu over the Baltic Sea, Russian news agencies have said.
The F-16 had tried to approach the aircraft carrying the defence minister even though it was flying over neutral waters, agencies said today, before a Russian Sukhoi-27 turned up to warn it off.
Shoigu was reported to be en route to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad for a meeting to discuss how well Russia's western flank was defended.
In dramatic footage appearing to show the incident unfolding, a Sukhoi-27 can be seen flying between an F-16 and another plane before tilting its wings. The F-16 then seems to fly off.

What the f was that F16 doing so close to that plane?
The SU-27 was armed with air-to-air missiles. I could not tell if the F-16 was. And while the F-16 was close .... it was not what I would call "very close". I will be expecting an equivalent Russian response in the coming weeks.
Those Sukhoi's are big birds!
Why can't America just f off and take care of their own shit hole country
SU27 had to take down the F16 since it was a self-defence (in American logic).
You do realize this is what Russian pilots do to nato aircraft, u.s aircraft snd warships weekly? Lol
Why cant El Choda f off?
Local Russian speaking talk show host said that the F16 should not have gotten that close to the defense Minister's plane. He said it was a mistake. I take the host's wisdom seriously.
Still, if the Russians want to shoot down an F16, we can nuke them 'til they glow. It's all good.
