Russian fighter bombers ‘buzz’ warship HMS Queen Elizabeth as crew scramble stealth jets

- Dramatic footage shows the moment Russian warplanes buzz a British aircraft carrier in a “threatening” manoeuvre.
Vladimir Putin’s jets can be seen flying towards HMS Queen Elizabeth, whose crew scramble its own F-35 stealth fighters to confront them.
The extraordinary video shows the crew warning the Russians to back off as the massive Royal Navy warship sails through the Mediterranean on its first deployment.
The incident happened in 2021 but has now been revealed in a new BBC documentary The Warship: Tour of Duty that starts on Sunday the 22nd January.
The £3.2 billion HMS Queen Elizabeth and its sister ship HMS Prince of Wales are the UK’s biggest ever warships.
It was was near the Suez Canal on its way to the Far East on a seven-month tour when the Russian planes appeared.

My family and I have visited (personally and for my GOVT work as well) the UK on many occasions and have loved every minute of our time spent there. I am a proud American, but I’d very proudly and willingly stand beside my British friends any day, any time, for any reason. Thanks for all you guys do on this Green Earth! 🫡 God save the king!!!
we will always be the US little poodle.. and im sorry we dont have a nordsteam pipeline you can bomb..just to prove how much of a friend you are
@@briancarno8837 We? Who's we?
Clearly your a confused Russian sympathiser.
Let me guess. You live elsewhere, probably EU or UK where you are safe and free to go about your daily business. And won't be called up to fight this idiotic and entirely of Russia's own making war?
How close am I?
@@TheBarnestah well its a UK newspaper so yes I am in UK.. the US has flooded Ukraine with weapons..built bio labs on the Russian border and overthrew a democcratic government in Ukraine so no I wouldnt say Russia started it.its hardly the first time the US has done this.

This is 2 years old
Not much you can do when the Russians were 6 miles from the carrier. That’s way to close and they should have had interceptors in the air once those planes were 100 miles out and intercepted them at 50.
@@Big-Government-Is-The-Problem Uhm no lol. That instance you refer to the US intentionally disabled their equipment
And I'd say navies nowadays probably have anti air defense systems on the ship lol so basically if it flies it dies no matter how close u are the russian pilot wouldn't be coming back just saying most modernized navies are uh like floating giant airforce killers lol along with other things
@@Big-Government-Is-The-Problem A drone swarm would be detected very far away for one.
Hypersonic missiles are yet to be proven. How can you accurately hit a moving target when you have a ball of plasma in front of the missile that blocks all incoming and outgoing radiation for targeting? The US had hypersonics in the 60s and obviously saw no practical use.
CWIS is the last line of defense. There is a layered system from the aircraft CAP, Long range missiles, short range missiles, then CWIS, then Chaff and other countermeasures.
@@Big-Government-Is-The-ProblemBahahaha......I'm sure the world is trembling at the superior Russian naval forces. Bahahahaha.......
@@Big-Government-Is-The-Problem lol no. A supercarrier has never been sunk in a realistic combat scenario, partly because NATO does not engage in useless combat practice where the overpowered blue team wins easily. The carriers have only been sunk when enormous restrictions were placed on them, (loss of active radar, tight movement corridor, close to shore, no search aircraft, etc.)
The defenses for a carrier consist of: Aircraft to do the initial intercept, long range AA missiles like SM-2 and SM-6, then medium range like the Sea sparrow and RIM-116's, then phalanx.
And you'd need several hits from 500+ lb. munitions to actually sink it.
I'd be VERY confident they were aware of what and where they were LONG before six miles out.
Either that or the radar is a shambles. I smell clickbait drama.
Pretty sure the toleranse levels are a bit higher during peacetime,if this had happened after Russias invasion of Ukraine i bet those fighters would have been scrambled alot faster or allready been in the air
prepared for battle ahahaha, these morons dont know what theya re dealing with
Last time I look, E-2 Hawkeye or whatever British use as AEW aircraft around carrier group have over 550km ranges at targets detection capability.
Yeah dude, they got putin's brainwaves from his bunker 10 miles underground the very second he ordered it, or whatever way this works in you brain

The Russians saw the F-35s and quickly retreated.
actually F35s are not that great for dogfighting
F 35 is worse in dogfights than russian jets
Is that what you just came up with? The Russians fly in their own airspace, and the British carrier group will not enter the territorial waters of the Russian Federation, this is a huge risk for such a large group to enter the waters of the Russian Federation, this is a serious act of aggression (there is a high risk of starting a war). The British are not that stupid!

Don't kid yourself. In the modern 21st century, a huge aircraft carrier like the British one shown in this video, is nothing but a big sitting duck on the water. All it takes is an intelligent and maneuverable hypersonic missile fired from several hundreds of kilometers away and travelling at more than 5 times the speed of sound to sink this huge chunk of iron into the depths of the sea. And Russia and China have these missiles.
The Russians are just envious of an aircraft carrier that doesn't look like a raging tire fire when sailing. ;)
it will if the Russians want it to
Does it really matter when all it takes a few hypersonic missiles to send her down to the ship graveyard?
Not to mention it's actually on fire at its mooring lol.

Amazing technology on that warship that costs over a billion but unfortunately no match for a hypersonic missile costing millions that could be launched a 1,000 miles away and they wouldn’t see it coming, by the time most of these massive ships are built they are redundant in modern warfare, better to make peace through mutually beneficial trade deals and engender mutual respect anything else is eventually self destructive .

It was in a strike group. A type 45 would of had them all locked on and ready to go.
@@ryand900 Yep, a type 45 can prioritise and deal with around 30 aerial threats simultaneously......and can if necessary, track objects in inner space....such as ballistic missiles. The carrier would have seen the jets approaching from 150+ miles away on radar.... if a lock-on from the jets had been detected, it would have triggered a reaction.
Lol Britannia sure as heck doesn't rule the waves anymore. 🤣
Still considered the premier of world navies, hence why it is referred to as just ‘Royal Navy’, without qualification. It’s also one of only three blue water navies (the others being the US and France). It may not be the largest by number anymore, but it is still considered the most experienced, the most revered and the most famous. You can be sure that a Royal Navy warship would be far more competent in combat than any other. It is the godfather of all navies. The only navy that does not include it’s nation when addressed internationally. Royal Navy, nothing more, nothing less.
@@OiOiSillyBoi that's just the convention from the past, in WW1 the French navy was called 'La Royale'. The German navy at the same time was called 'Kaiserliche Marine', many other navies have not included the name of the country in the official title.
Even today the Chinese navy is called the 'People's Liberation Army - Navy', with no reference to the name of the country that it serves.
And the Chinese PLA Navy is now the second strongest and second largest navy in the world. Far bigger than any European navy and equipped with very advanced and capable vessels.
@@simonyip5978 My point is that the Royal Navy is still internationally referred to as ‘Royal Navy’; it does not have qualification by nation unlike the others you mention in your comment. It’s naive to judge the strength of a navy by its size, you could have 300 paddle boats against 2 state of the art warships. Technologically, the Royal Navy are at the forefront of world navies. The PLA Navy vessels are not battle proven, nor does the nation have the same level of experience in maritime warfare. Frankly, an island seafaring nation, such as the UK, will always harness a more potent maritime force than a non-island nation. The UK’s primary strength is its naval capabilities. Let’s not forget during the carrier strike group the Royal Navy sniffed out Chinese submarines 2 weeks before they were due to cross paths. Likewise, China nor Russia, nor India can sail far beyond their coastal waters. They do not have the capacity to undertake blue water operations. Only Britain, France and the US possess navies of such ability. The UK can send a strike group to China’s back door, whereas they cannot do the same to the UK.
@@simonyip5978 except chinas navy isn't a blue water navy and the royal navy is. China also doesn't have very advanced vessels at all good lie.
@@OiOiSillyBoi a quick look at the type of vessels operated by the PLA Navy will show how well designed and well built their navy actually is.
The latest Type 055 and 052C/D/DL DDG and the Type 054A/B FFG frigates each cost around $800 million per destroyer and $400+ million per frigate. The submarines, aircraft carriers, amphibious vessels and support ships are of a similar standard, it is a fallacy that Chinese weapon systems and hardware is cheap and shoddy. They have the technology, the industrial capabilities and the money to design, develop and build very capable equipment in very large numbers.
This is not my opinion, it's the opinion of the US naval intelligence, the Pentagon and those organisations and agencies that have access to information that we don't.
When you say that the Royal Navy could send a task force to the South China Sea, it might be logistically possible, if the whole of the 2 carriers, 6 destroyers and 12 frigates and all of the support ships were available, but only in peacetime. The chances of any foreign naval task force being able to survive within 500 miles of the coast of China is increasing unlikely.
The whole Chinese naval strategy is based on preventing the prevent US carrier groups getting within 1000km of China. The thousands of air launched/ship and submarine launched/land launched cruise missiles and ballistic missiles, plus the 70+ submarines/150 DDG, FFG and FSG surface vessels/etc are specifically tasked with defending the seaward approaches to China.
So yes even though the Royal Navy might be able to reach the South China Sea, its doubtful how much of the fleet would ever get back home. I'm not sure if you are aware of how much China has advanced and how much they have devoted in the last few decades, but you might have been correct 20+ years ago, but I doubt that you are correct now.

@@B_B_B_ Yes, Britain was once the greatest empire, but it collapsed a long time ago and one small lousy island remained of it. This happened because 100 SAS soldiers are not worth a single Russian soldier. And Russia is still a great empire and now occupies the 7th part of the land of the planet Earth. Britain is just a bug on the map compared to Russia. Now Britain is a vassal of the United States trying to do nasty things to Russia again to please its master overseas. I think Russia will have to swat this bug)
Oh, but there is you know....... If you knew the slightest thing about physics, you'd realise that even a so-called hypersonic missile can't fly at hypersonic speeds at sea level......the air is way too dense you fool......
UK Gov. should train and do support with equipment for UA spec ops forces for help them to obtain aibility to attack russian air bases with old strategic bombers - carriers of cruise missles - this is a bigger danger for UK, RU don't produce it , so destroying some part of them is best way to increase UK infrastructure and residents..
Maciej you can start out and empty your bank account. You can just wire it straight over to Zelenskis off-shore accounts in Panama.
If they get one hundred miles of the ship,in combat its toast.

For its weak defensive armament and large size, the aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth has already been called a convenient target for Russian anti-ship missiles.
Experts of the British analytical center Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) also say that the largest ship of the British fleet is vulnerable to anti-ship missiles. According to them, an anti-ship missile worth less than half a million pounds is capable of at least disabling a British aircraft carrier worth more than three billion pounds. "And a salvo of 10 such missiles will cost the Russian budget less than 4 million pounds, it is much easier to destroy such targets by focusing fire on them than to develop something of the same level to fight on equal terms," the report of RUSI experts emphasizes.

The QE carrier never goes out in the water without its fleet of submarines and destroyers which will destroy any threat which may be imposed to the carrier
