FOX News: Russian jet buzzes US spy plane over Mediterranean, 2nd such encounter in 4 days
The U.S. Navy announced that a Russian fighter jet came too close for comfort while flying near an American P-8 reconnaissance plane over the Mediterranean Sea on Sunday.
Officials with the U.S. Navy’s 6th Fleet said the Russian jet, incompatible with good airmanship and universal flight rules, came within 25 feet of the P-8 while flying in international airspace. The jet twice came too close to the P-8 over a period of 100 minutes, they said.
