- A U.S. plane was said to have been intercepted by a Russian jet flying less than 50 feet away, however, the Russian Ministry of Defense denies these claims. According to the White House, this recent encounter is not the first sign of aggression within the last year.
Transcript:
Russia is denying claims by U.S. officials that one of its jets recently intercepted a U.S recon plane in an "unsafe and unprofessional manner."
On Sunday, Russia's Ministry of Defense said the jet's flight strictly followed "international rules of the airspace usage" and said claims that the jet did a barrel roll aren't true.
According to U.S. European Command, the area in the Baltic Sea where the dispute took place isn't in Russian territory.
This most recent encounter comes after the U.S. Navy said the USS Donald Cook "encountered multiple, aggressive flight maneuvers" when Russian jets flew past on April 11 and 12.
Russia said jets were performing training flights in both of those instances.
But the White House has already said otherwise.
"There have been repeated incidents over the last year where the Russian military, including Russian military aircraft, have come close enough to each other or have come close enough to other air and sea traffic to raise serious safety concerns," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said.
This video includes clips from U.S. Navy, the White House and images from U.S. Air Force, Dmitriy Pichugin and U.S. Navy.

I wonder why they started the report with "Russia is denying claims" instead of "US officials are claiming".
+Kakto Tak Cause that would imply that US Official claims are "not entirely accurate" and we can't have that of course!
+Kakto Tak because given current russian action it is undoubtedly true.
USA I hate those three letters...
lmao the government is salty af
The Russians misread the Carrier for the "Donald Trump" and not Donald Cook.
True 😂
Putin likes Donald Trump.
+Qb3-ify but Donald Trump hates Putin. He's said at one of the debates "Russia is our number 1 threat to national security" when he was asked to name the top 3 in his perspective.
Cool paint scheme. I want one.
Why is the US Navy in the Baltics?
Poland, a NATO ally, requested them to be there.
+Democracy Ball but, in the Baltic Sea?
Does it have to go through the UN or EU?
agreed
democracy? just like they already spreader in Iraq and Afgahanistan
+Stark because they want to be? its open waters
Not for nothing we did it first in 1974..
Well the Su27 is a supermaneuverable fighter the U.S crew missed a chance of taking some pics
And why not? The US doesn't have the will to do anything about it anyway. If it was a weaker nation yes. America doesn't have the courage to fight tougher opponents today. But we will attack nations that have nothing to do with the problem, like say (Iraq).
