Russian fighter flew in six meters from the American reconnaissance aircraft.

This is reported by the press secretary of the US Navy in Europe Pamela Kunze, reports "New Times" with reference to the American media.

So, on May 9, the Russian Su-27 flew about 20 feet (6 meters) from the US Navy P-8A Poseidon patrol aircraft. The incident occurred over the neutral waters of the Black Sea.

According to Kunze, Poseidon conducted routine patrols in the international airspace.

The spokeswoman for the US Navy did not name the non-professional rapprochement on 6 meters by the Russian pilot, explaining this by the fact that in addition to the distance between the two planes, one must take into account the speed, altitude, visibility and other factors.

It is also reported that the reaction of the RF Ministry of Defense to the incident over the Black Sea has not yet been reported.

As reported by the "Observer", the US Air Force for the first time deployed new fifth-generation fighter-bombers F-35A in the UK.
