Pentagon accuses Russian Su-30 of “unsafe” interception of US reconnaissance aircraft

US military spokeswoman Michel Baldanza complained about the “unsafe” interception by the Russian Su-30 of the American P-8 Poseidon reconnaissance aircraft over the Black Sea on Saturday, CNN reported.

American aircraft operated in international airspace and did nothing to provoke such actions by the Russian side.

She said to the TV channel, calling such actions "unsafe."

This is not the first accusation of Russian pilots by the United States of "unsafe" interceptions. Russian Aerospace Forces regularly escort and intercept NATO aircraft. The Ministry of Defense publishes weekly reports, which indicate statistics on foreign aircraft found at the state border.

At the moment, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation did not comment on this "incident"

Boeing P-8 Poseidon - consisting in service with the US Navy patrol anti-submarine aircraft designed to detect and destroy enemy submarines, as well as to participate in anti-ship and rescue operations.

"unsafe" interception by the Russian Su-30 of the American reconnaissance aircraft R-8A

I understand that this is their job, but there is nothing to roam about our borders!

[Grandfather]

let the American "Poseidon" fly off the coast of Miami, and no one will intercept.

[ArhipenkoAndrey]

An anti-submarine and reconnaissance American aircraft near the Russian borders does nothing of this - an interesting statement and not funny at all. A combat plane flew from America to the Black Sea to the Russian borders so easy to fly?

Not so, he came to catch a fish, and our Flyers came to save him from the evil Russian air defense. I hate being caught without me

[Dashout]

And what does “unsafe interception” mean? What does it look like in practice? Close flew our interceptor?

Yes, let them know that the closer our borders, the more aggressive the actions of our pilots.

Correctly. This is not an “incident”, but an ordinary chore. An enemy to besiege, to show oneself what a cry to raise something. Well noted in the news and enough, but right there for any reason guano is plagued by an “unsafe" interception.

Well, to be honest, ours are also flying in their area, maybe not in Miami, but near Alaska and California, that's for sure. And they are intercepted by the same thing, only Russia on this occasion does not raise a cry, like a hysterical woman. And by the way, What is the “unsafe interception”, where is the evidence video? And in general, "was there a boy"? Or was there no video camera on board the American anti-submarine reconnaissance aircraft? My daughter has two in the sandbox. Or forgot to turn on with fear? In a word, all this is American chatter, and besides, as always, it is not backed up by anything.

[alstr]

It would be better if he helped the Argentinean submarine search than flew over the Black Sea.

It was not an incident with a dangerous rapprochement, but a usual reminder of who the boss in the house is!

[Pete mitchell]

Quote: Sergey-svs

a reminder of who is the boss in the house!

That's it: whoever owns the house, wanted a new "cold war" - get it and don’t whine. And then they took the fashion: first boil the situation, and then moan to the whole world that it is "hot".
Well, in the club named after Vasily Tsymbal arrived, well, what kind of people are these bourgeois - you have to remind about everything, as Zadornov said there ...

[amirbek]

Quote: Sergey-svs

but the usual reminder of who is the boss in the house!

you don’t understand ... it became very difficult to work in such conditions ... fly into the outhouse into deep space

[Felix99]

The insecurity consisted in the uncertainty of American pilots about the availability of condoms and other contraceptives on board the Russian aircraft, because as a result of such contact the Americans could fly into.

[Svarog51]

Volodya, hello This Boeing P-8 Poseidon would fly to the South Atlantic, and search for the Argentinean submarine. Then I would not have shied away from Russian fighters.

[Jedi]

Sergey, hello! When some sniff out something under other people's doors, there is nothing to complain about that the owner is watching through the peephole. We must be glad that the owner did not abruptly open the door and did not drive her into the forehead of an uninvited guest.

[pvv113]

Hi guys! Personally, I like such complaints of adversaries

[Jedi]

Volodya Once they whine, then we do everything right.

[pvv113]

We have the ability to control howl volume

[Uncle lee]

a Russian plane flew right in front of the P-8 Poseidon, as a result of which the pilot of the latter had to make a sharp maneuver, which, in turn, led to severe turbulence. “That is the reason for their indignation!”
Hello!

[Jedi]

Volodya , so this American flyer must be blamed for the "unsafe" maneuver and prudence.

[Tusv]

Besides the fact that he had the audacity to approach our border by a hundred. Already guilty of death

[Mih1974]

I support - there is always an option to “drop it” so it would be like “he fell”.

[Dezinto]

Really so cruel! And according to the Americans, they should have asked politely and long for the walkie-talkie "fly away please."

[Pravodel]

Well no. According to the United States, ours should have shown all their defensive lines, submarines, artillery and rocket launchers, cellars, etc. immediately after the appearance of their reconnaissance aircraft. Lining up along the Black Sea coast with arms raised and shouting "Uncle, give up" ...

[Tusv]

Yes, they usually ask If they don’t lie, then they know

[Settlement Oparyshev]

It’s good to compensate the US crew for diapers. And for the future you need to make a plane with the shafts in front, in order to drive this adversary.

[Nemesis]

Fly at your borders ... Where is the USA, and where is the Black Sea .... Carries you here ... You were not called by the court ...

[Herculesic]

An unsafe interception is when an intercepted plane is unsafe for our plane that intercepted a US plane scatters fragments of itself for many hundreds of meters around!

[Xnumx vis]

But because no figs fly over the Russian Sea! Yankees! Go home! Yankee, Go Home.! To the Gulf of Mexico please!

[Alexander War]

There is nothing to fly at our borders and they will not have “unsafe” intercepts

[midshipman]

Let them remember how Air Marshal E.Ya. Savitsky landed in Kamchatka their scout using 4 MiG-31P. I was there. I have the honor.

[starogil]

This splash would not hurt ....

[KCA]

About 30 years ago I read the book of his daughter, Svetlana Savitskaya, I don’t remember much, but one phrase of her father sank, not verbatim, from memory - to do something quickly is to perform the necessary actions without pauses between them

[aszzz888]

... for a long time there was no whining from "gentle" aces meritosia ... but it has been said many times - get used to being beaten ...

[amirbek]

Quote: aszzz888

whining from "gentle" aces

they like it ... especially when the maneuver is unsafe, preferably from behind

[Skarpzd]

Thank you would say that the traffic police did not attract, and then for sure neither the cTP, nor the warning triangle ...

[demo]

Did you mean the traffic police in the form of air defense using "improvised" means to clarify the relationship?

[prior]

The scout flew without the sign of "spikes", but we have winter however.
So he had to make an oral remark.

[Alexander 3]

I wonder what will be howling if our A50, or better, the A100 flies in the neutral waters of America.

[amirbek]

Quote: Alexander 3

A100

probably nobody will see him there ... unless the fishermen ... and those who see will tryndet that they saw a UFO

[Pyromaniac]

Quote: Alexander 3

neutral waters of America.

There are no such waters. They are neutral and neutral ...

[Mountain shooter]

No wonder, absolutely. Their job is to provoke, the business of our flyers is to show that flying in the vicinity of our borders is uncomfortable! Strong nerves are needed, and diapers will not hurt ...

[bsk_una]

Finally, the RF Ministry of Defense does not comment on its actions. Well done! And this p.i.nd.do.s how the iceberg broke away from its shores and therefore it must be removed from the drift to the side. He broke away from his shores, it is necessary to beat until they remember their place in P.I.d.so.sii.

[amirbek]

And this p.i.s.d.o.s

a rare instance of course ... he knows one with tentacles. long. still there are suckers such ooooh ... who knows how to kill a big squid ... right! Score!

[K-50]

"unsafe" interception by the Russian Su-30 of an American reconnaissance aircraft

They would fly near their "garden" and would sleep peacefully.

[zulusuluz]

Maybe Russia should do charity work? Start transferring diapers at each interception to the American Embassy ...

[svp67]

What did an American FORGET thousands of kilometers from its shores?

[novel66]

fear, shame, conscience, come true, soon, you see, and the Turks will begin to intercept them

[amirbek]

Quote: novel xnumx

you look, and the Turks will begin to intercept them

okay, I’ll say culturally ... "from the S-400 to the ridge"

[Altona]

And what did he do at such an incredible distance from the US borders? There is nothing to fly near our borders.

[Altona]

Quote: zulusuluz

--------------------------------
Why splurge on diapers? The American embassy in general must be sent to Grozny, even if they are looking for unconventional lovers there.

[CAT BAIYUN]

American aircraft operated in international airspace and did nothing to provoke such actions by the Russian side.

this is the usual "And what for us?" no longer surprising.
Work for yourself. Here, without you, there are enough workers.

[Alexey-74]

It's okay, let them know who is the master in the sky near Russia.

[Evgenijus]

What else can you offer American pilots? Maybe diapers advise? The techniques of their aircraft will be satisfied ...

[Sibiryak13]

Let them rejoice that they have not dropped into the sea.

[seregatara1969]

Black and Baltic Seas are very dangerous for US military pilots - well, as a harlem at night - please do not fly here

[Sergey53]

This accusation was the only correct decision to SILENCE. What the Russian Defense Ministry did. Well done.

[PROXOR]

If you don’t like something. Nefig fly up to the borders.

[Zomanus]

Well measured by pussy.
We are on our territory, although they do not recognize Crimea as Russian.
Therefore, we can afford a little more
rather than silently observe reconnaissance aircraft at their borders.
It’s scary to imagine what’s going on,
Remain Crimea Ukrainian, nominally.

[viktorch]

without a condom sneaked up behind?

[DEMENTOR]

Psaki that fell into a fairy tale, or they just allowed everything and everyone !?

[bald]

When trials of Russian ships are underway, and at our borders, the whole NATO pack is here, as it is. So we don’t raise it!

[Antokha]

Why didn’t he do anything? He was in the Black Sea.

[vinni-puk]

Petushina, fly over Fiji ....

[Vasyan1971]

Are Americans with crowded diapers from spy raid again?

[keeper03]

Fell already need these Poseidons, they have nothing to hang around at our borders, and even in the Black Sea! The conflict will not provoke it, but it will make us respect !!!

[assever]

Especially for the "brave guys" from NATO

[earloop]

And they thought that the Su-30 would meet their P-8A with bread and salt. "Bread" is unlikely, But with salt? It is interesting if the salt on the overzook “gently” embraces fraternally a part of the R-8A fuselage.
