Su-27 prevented the F-18 from approaching the plane of the Minister of Defense of Russia

An F-18 fighter of one NATO country tried to approach the plane of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, but was pushed aside by Russian escort fighter. This was reported by the TV channel "Russia-24" (VGTRK).

Russian fighters Su-27 Baltic fleetaccompanying the plane of the Minister of Defense of the country did not allow NATO F-18 fighter to approach him. The Shoigu plane was located above the neutral waters of the Baltic Sea and followed from Kaliningrad to Moscow, accompanied by fighters of the Baltic Fleet.

This is not the first time NATO aircraft attempted to approach the plane of the Russian Minister of Defense. The previous attempt occurred in June 2017, when the F-16 of the Polish Air Force made an attempt to get closer, but was also pushed back by escort aircraft.

The Minister of Defense paid a visit to Kaliningrad, where he visited one of the stages of the Marine Landing Contest of the Army International Games "ARMI-2019" and laid the foundation stone for the construction of the new Nakhimov School.

Earlier, the head of the military department said that aviation NATO has increased the number of flights along Russian borders, which could lead to air incidents.

The intensity of NATO aviation flights at Russian borders has increased. As a result, the danger of provocations and military incidents sharply increased.

- stressed the Minister of Defense.

Apparently, this is just a stream of consciousness. HZ, however, where.

[ancestors from Don]

In such cases, when a threat is created by the maneuver of the first persons of the Power, there must be unshakable rules. DO NOT CLOSE AND DO NOT INTERFERE !!! right up to the downing and it doesn’t matter what over neutral territory, it’s like diplomats have immunity from screening and obstacles to movement. A Spaniard from Phi would impose the colors of olives from just one warning volley.

If such a rule is adopted, then it should apply in peacetime to civilian ships, in which hundreds of people travel! But naturally without shooting!
Human life is a one-time thing and saved versions do not exist here!

The Spanish aces on their EF-18A fighter from the 12th Spanish Air Force wing assigned to the Torrejón Air Base airbase sent comrade Shoigu in the Baltic sky today.

Since April 02, 2019, 05 EF-18A fighters of the Spanish Air Force from this wing have been performing tasks according to the plan of the Baltic Air Policing mission from Emari air base, Estonia.

As for the domestic escort aircraft of Comrade Shoigu, the Su-27 is captured in the maneuvers in the first part of the video, as I understand from the Baltic Fleet, but at the end of the video I saw the Su-35 from the * fighter regiment, based in *** , Karelia.

From this it follows that the escort for the Minister was provided along the entire route of his Tu-154 over hostile waters and in the equally hostile sky of NATO. Https: //t.me/operline_en/18076

I wonder what Tu-154 you saw such wingtips (planes)?

[Maz]

You generally saw the link or not at the end of the text, go and ask. The operational line was mistaken only two times in two years, immediately apologized to the readers and corrected the mistake in the text. Regarding the Tu-154, the author meant that Shoigu used different planes during his raids in the Baltic, and not one.

Very beautifully written. For what - the cons are not clear. There is nothing unrealistic in the commentary. Over time, each fighter will have something similar on board. Or is it latent lovers of the West - will be worn out? :-)

They are not based in Siauliai on a permanent basis, NATO fighters are deployed "in the Baltic air policing mission", the Balts do not have their own resources, and are not expected. And who even asks them ...

Damn, I'm a patriot, but why do such comments make me grimace.

They are easy to distinguish by the keeled black "Andrew's" cross on a white background. We took off to intercept from Siauliai, detachment commander Lieutenant Colonel Alberto Valero.

“They don’t slurp truffle boots there either.” I don't remember where the phrase came from. The Efa pilot performed the maneuver competently, stayed above the "drying", which means he got an advantage. I, of course, am glad that the Efa was so cleverly driven away. But one question torments me - why was he even allowed to approach such a distance? In my opinion, a potential enemy needs to be intercepted before he comes to the "pistol" distance, no?

[AUL]

Quote: novobranets

But one question tormented: why was he even allowed to approach such a distance?

So I was interested in this question - where was our fighter before when the NATO looked into our porthole? After all, this is a gross violation of flight safety rules!
PS By the way, he could shoot down the plane with a rocket from 150 km, but there would be a big scandal with unpredictable consequences. But if just a "accidental collision" - it could have carried it with less consequences.

[Gray brother]

Quote from AUL

S By the way, he could have shot down a plane with a missile from 150 km,

Fu-16 had no weapons.

[Wedmak]

F-18 .... two missiles at the wingtips, two under the belly.

[Gray brother]

Quote: Wedmak

F-18 .... two missiles on the wingtips,

Right I didn’t notice.

[Dikson]

By the way, when the pilot of a likely enemy demonstrates the armament of his car - is this a very clear order to change course and the severity of the warning?

[Boa kaa]

Quote: Dikson

when the pilot of a likely enemy demonstrates the armament of his car - this is a very clear order to change course and the severity of the warning

This, if he does not commit evolution, so as not to collide with the Su-27 pushing him out.
And then, did he get in touch on the channel, went ahead with the passage of the cockpit of a foreign side?
No, he simply "recoiled," as he would later say at his airfield, from the "abnormal Russian."
Only one thing in this maneuver doesn’t suit me - the busy F-18 train ...

[Wedmak]

but where was our fighter before when the NATO looked into our porthole?

Where it should be - behind, leading Hornet into the field of view of the sight, take a closer look at where Drying appears.

[Ramzaj99]

Quote: novobranets

The pilot of the efa made the maneuver competently, stayed above the "drying", so he got an advantage.

Doubtful advantage ....
He went up and forward, what advantage can he get there if he lost Su both visually and from instruments? and absolutely can not know what kind of maneuvers will take Sukhoi. Su chose the most competent position, from bottom to bottom, he perfectly sees the NATO member and can perform any maneuvers.

[Nycomed]

Nice, masterful, bravo! Whose plane was it? In NATO, they are in service with the United States, Canada and Spain. I did not notice the identification marks, but judging by the drawing of the "false cabin" on the bottom of the fuselage, this is a Canadian one. There, such a paint scheme was applied back in the 80s. I read it once, and I remember a photograph from the Foreign Military Review. But ours - vobshe BEAUTY!

[Errr]

Scroll through the pause. You will see Spanish red-yellow-red circles on the fuselage and underside of the wing.

[Nycomed]

So the Spaniard.

[ddmitrij]

There are Spanish circles and a cross on the keel

These are obviously Spaniards.

Something this time drove like a fig, went down a lot. The one on top could easily come close again.

[ankir13]

The drying failed somehow, in fact, after the lifting the sea of ​​kinetics remained at the efa, and drying would have come under attack in the event of a battle ....

[Wedmak]

Sushki's pilot saw Hornet, but Hornet Sushka lost sight of, so who else was hit was a question. A propeller-driven aircraft with guns, being lower, has a losing position, but a jet one with missiles ... is no longer so clear.

[Boa kaa]

Quote: ankir13

and drying in the event of a fight would clearly fall under the blow ....

And from below, from behind ... don't you want to get the R-73 with a thermal head with "delivery" directly into the nozzles?

[Dikson]

... And from below, from behind, in such a position, R-73 with a heat head will fly right into the plane of the Minister of Defense .. his engines and go glow brighter ..

Quite possible. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain his maneuver with the departure of the Spaniard ...

The one on top could easily come close again.

But the gut is thin and the sphincter is not iron

[ankir13]

At the 33rd second, a hornet with a right-hand dive flips out into the upper side hemisphere above the dryer, and shoot it as you want, and the left half-fly at the peak turns the same hornet into a kite above the chicken’s head, and then it’s a matter of technique, reprisal of a wretched sou ... framed!

[Wedmak]

Drying presses on the gas, leaving for the cabling and capturing Hornet in the sight, launches a rocket or activates a gun. Which is easier?

hornet with a right dive flips on a dive goes into the upper side hemisphere above the dryer

and the left half-shift at the peak turns the same hornet into a kite above the chicken’s head

Hornet needs to slow down and turn around anyway, and Sushka is already behind him with weapons directed towards him. In addition to the fact that there is a second drying.

[Archivist Vasya]

It was so. With such periodicity, soon it will be commonplace and no one will notice such news.

[x.andvlad]

So I thought that it was already becoming familiar. The NATO flyers have probably already been instructed on behavior in such cases.
This seem is ispan.

[PROXOR]

Not Ishpanets, but GESHPANETS)))

[Palomnik]

In the days of the USSR, they would simply have been shot down ... And they knew this and did not even come close.

[Valerik1337]

But didn't he come close?

[Pessimist22]

Moreover, a few tens of meters, well, and then he was noticed and driven away

[Valerik1337]

For a few dozen? Well maybe ... I watched the video and thought if I could spit at such a distance

[Storog dvornik]

Shoigu is a political figure, the son of party nomenclature, the husband of the daughter of a member of the Politburo who has not served in the SA for a day or trained in military institutions ... a builder ...
Yes, he flew to Spitak with a newly created rescue team with sabaks in December 1988, military pilots remember ...
The military remembers how in the 90s he pulled up all the young and daring from the SA and said that now you are the Ministry of Emergencies ... in the Fire Department they were called tankmen ...
Military people remember how he made a major general from a colonel of the Ministry of Emergencies in an instant and increased the staff from 50 cripples of pensioners of the Civil Defense to 5 fighters of the Fire Department of the region ...
People remember how he took over the Fire Department, and attached it to the Ministry of Emergencies, having moved the Fire Department and the Ministry of Internal Affairs as a whole, receiving both the Hero and the general epaulettes ...
People remember ...
Information for consideration ... If someone thinks that the oldest member of the Government is Chubais .... no, this is Shoigu ...

[ender]

and the distribution of weapons in the 93rd remember?

[ddmitrij]

Quote: Storog Dvornik

Son, husband, daughter ...
It is obvious to me that Shoigu serves Russia and the Russian people. And it serves very well! And everything else, in this context, is insignificant!

[Pechkin]

Yes, the escort was so-so to the plane that it was let off at point blank range and this is not the first time, it is interesting that our planes can fly up to the board of the US Secretary of Defense.

[ender]

how "did not let me get closer" if the F-18 pilot literally looked through the window

[bk316]

I watched the video. For me, both pro pilots and planes are good.

[Dikson]

The distillation is strange .. so the F-18 has an advantage in height and a maneuver for shooting at close range .. And ours fell down ..

[K-612-O]

This is a moot point, drying from this position can make a cobra and end up in the tail from the bottom of the 18th and it has no chance

[donavi49]

The Spaniard has two Sides at the endings + 2x120С for Drying 2хР-73 + Р-27Р. If the Hornet rolls over, then Su (even Su-35 with OVT) does not leave Sayd at such a distance. However, if Su turns to the P-73 capture zone and Hornet does not help.

But while someone is measuring their eggs tighter and someone is cutting more than hell, fortunately.

[Wedmak]

So Su even walked behind Hornet. That is, the latter was on the fly all the time while getting closer. They decided to drive away when he came too close.

[SERGEY SERGEEVICS]

In this case, of course, it was possible to act more decisively and tougher, but nevertheless, there is a good indicator of how to act with them.

[TAMBU]

they worked there in pairs (drying) ... so they went up so steeply that I had a lot of dogs on my bricks for a walk)))

[Nikolay Fedorov]

Quote: from article

F-18 fighter of one NATO country tried to get closer to the plane of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, but was pushed aside by the Russian escort fighter. This was reported by the TV channel "Russia-24"

In fact, the F-18 did not try to get closer, but got closer, and too close and brazen. Where did our escort pilots look ?! Why allowed?
And after the first maneuver, our plane somehow fell down, and the F-18 again rose one level with Shoigu. I do not understand the cunning maneuvers of aviators, because I am an infantry? Or is it our lack of professionalism?

[Wedmak]

He got closer, yes ... yes, only Drya walked behind, holding him in sight (and possibly aiming). And as he came too close they gave the order to drive away. Hornet, seeing from the mirrors approaching Sushka, gave gas to the side. Drying, continuing to keep him in sight, went a circle down. But even from there she could get it if she wanted to. But Hornet lost sight of her. And since Dryers worked as a couple .... Hornet had no chance whatsoever of doing anything bad.

[sabakina]

Denis , I was surprised that the Spaniard did not completely withdraw from the rhinestone, but in two stages. I do not know, either arrogant or stoned ...

[Tiratori]

In general, this is the Su-35S, and as you can see, the FA-18 during the maneuver took an advantageous position from above, ours needed to occupy the starting position for the typical one, then it would be really beautiful. But so nothing too ;-)

[ilya63]

What do you mean he didn’t let him come nearer? He almost didn’t look into the "window" to Shoigu !!!!

[Avior]

NATO conducted a visual identification of the type of aircraft and the number of the board.
After terrorist attacks in the States, it became a common procedure.

[Archivist Vasya]

Yeah, and referred to the poor vision of the pilot who had to fly up to a distance spitting practically.

[dirk182]

There are no questions on the article. But here it is:

The intensity of NATO aviation flights at Russian borders has increased. As a result, the danger of provocations and military incidents sharply increased.

- stressed the Minister of Defense.

Almost every week in the news (about an increase in the intensity of flights). Compared to last week, last year ??? And every time he "drove away". It sounds somehow undignified.

[Chaldon48]

It is not clear why this F-18 needed to be approached at all, did he want to scare our minister, or say hello to him?

[nobody111body]

Well, as you know, it is categorically forbidden to shoot down Israeli planes regularly bullying with "high-precision" weapons at the state of Syria, and here's the gratitude for this, it’s true, it’s still flowers, or else buit-ah yes, humanism-oh, I remembered Afghan "parity of arms" in! and in general, isn't it time for the Jews to directly eliminate our leaders, like their liquidation in Lebanon?
