An American patrol anti-submarine aircraft P-8 Poseidon was intercepted near the Pacific Fleet base point off the coast of Kamchatka

Perhaps, for the first time in recent times, representatives of the United States called the interception of a US reconnaissance aircraft by a Russian fighter a “safe and professional” one. We are talking about the interception of Russian patrol aircraft anti-submarine aircraft (assigned to the US Navy) P-31 "Poseidon" in the Kamchatka Peninsula by Russian MIG-8 fighters.

It is noted that the exact place of interception of the American anti-submarine aircraft was the area of ​​Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky - the basing point of the Pacific Fleet Vilyuchinsk. Even during the Cold War, the Americans gave this home base the name "wasp nest" because of the large number of submarines of the USSR.

Spokesman for the US Pacific Command Captain Second Rank (Commander) Dave Benham:

Interception was held in a safe and professional manner. The Russian fighter was approaching at a distance of at least 15 m.

It is reported by the news agency "Interfax".

It must be added that the other two cases with actions of the Russian aviation regarding the American military equipment (reconnaissance aircraft over the Baltic Sea and the destroyer Donald Cook in the same Baltic Sea), noted in April, the American side called it “unprofessional and unsafe”.

For reference: "Boeing" P-8 "Poseidon" - anti-submarine patrol aircraft. Crew - 9 man. Empty weight - 62,7 t. Maximum take-off weight - 85,3 t. Maximum speed - 907 km / h (patrol speed - 330 km / h at an altitude of about 60 m). Combat radius - 3,7 thousand. Km. Practical ceiling - 12,5 km.

Again, the mattresses are breaking off. Well don't let them quietly spy

Oh, do not like! sit on an aspen nest ...

[cniza]

And if it is closer to 15 meters, then this would not be professional.

[Tibidokh]

In fact, the text indicates that the plane was approaching

at a distance of at least 15 m.

Oh, if there was Jane Psaki in the clip of the State Department, she would definitely clarify the situation.

We conclude from this that the farther the US pilots fly from our planes and territory, the more professional they are, from which we can conclude that the most professional US pilots fly over their territory. No, they are not cowards, just professionalism obliges.

[alexmach]

Yes, they don’t fly any further. Almost flew over the base point. For good, they would be worth intercepting for a couple of hundred kilometers.

[AleksPol]

Then how many meters was our plane approaching over the Baltic, if 15m is considered safe and there are no cries from the State Dep?

[Sagittarius YaNAO]

They just got confused, "it's not their fault" ....

[vlad66]

The interception took place in a safe and professional manner.

Well you say the mattress-beds do not yell about our non-professionalism. And what happened to the stripes? Usually the stench goes to the whole world.

The State Department, after studying the diapers of the pilot and navigator of the Boeing R-8 Poseidon, changed its mind and announced another egregious case of the unprofessionalism of the Russian MiG-31 crew.

It is a pity that after that only panties are washed. If you hit! or FORCED TO LANDING! Well, I hope we will wait in our century of times when they will begin not only to think - to fly in, not to fly in, but simply DO NOT FLY !!!

What are you! This is evidence, evidence of Russian aggression. In no case can not be washed, let it fly.

[NDR-791]

You know, Powers didn't like it either, but they didn't think it necessary to ask him like the State Department. And as Turkey, oh-oh ... Of course not invaded. My question is "what if they invaded ???, what will happen now - how with Rust or how with Powers?" And this is the main question to which both the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are verbose and answer nothing. So I would like to know the position of the state, and not as two decades in a row.

[Tibidokh]

Quote: NDR-791

My question is "what if they invaded ???, what will happen now - how with Rust or how with Powers?"

I don't think we will find out. Americans will not take such risks. But in general, there is a certain algorithm of actions in case of violation of airspace. First a warning, then coercion, then a "physical" warning, then an attack.

Quote: NDR-791

So I want the position of the state to know a certain, and not like two decades in a row.

The position of the PRC is an example to us - everyone protests the way, and we will build a military airfield in the disputed territories, protest further.

[NDR-791]

I think we won’t find out.
So we didn’t understand what the hell this "even a plane" was on Red Square. But we know perfectly well how it ended. Therefore, I ask, can anyone have heard the position of the COUNTRY !!! As you wish, and WE MUST KNOW! If in the presence of the president the rocket did not take off, then we will survive, but if someone else is going to fall on his head, then "the rescue of the drowning is the work of the drowning themselves" or do we still live in the STATE ???

[Tibidokh]

Quote: NDR-791

COUNTRY position !!! As you want, and WE SHOULD KNOW!

Pleases your indifference. However, I would like to warn you - the final truth is always reported obscenities.

[NDR-791]

Unfortunately, you are right! And as it flies in, then "Brothers and Sisters !!!". So it was always with us, eh sadness, and even in the "partisans" I should not be taken. At least from the inside to look at what has changed in 27 years. You look and would not ask idiotic questions - you would see it yourself.

Well, how much can you admire this crap. I served 25 years in the reconnaissance regiment (Tu-95RTs) and NATO interceptors have always hung on our planes from Bear to the Strait zone. And no one has ever made a sensation out of it. And our interceptors always accompanied their "Orions" and the adversaries never resented. And recently, the usual routine work of pilots, both from our side and from their side, is presented almost as the beginning of the "third world". Idiocy, damn it.

PS: here recently the Su-24 flew past Cook. If you compare with what Pliev did in 1968 with Essex, it’s easy to make jokes with Cook. And the Americans did not take offense then, and the people did not know anything .. somehow it was more correct then, IMHO ..

Here, about Pliev, for those who are not in the know:

From the same Yelizov, when the Su-15TMs were still there, a pair of Orion was raised. The leader stood to the right of the Orion, the wingman went downhill, but did not calculate the height and gurgled. I had a good time before that bones overboard. True, he injured his spine and was treated for a long time. Later he flew the AN-2.

If the fighter is close enough to destroy the intercepted aircraft, this is an "interception" and does not have to be destroyed. NATO pilots are paid for this if he brings back pictures of the "enemy" plane he intercepted. As far as I know, a NATO pilot, in order to receive the award, had to photograph the tail number of our aircraft. And in order to prevent him from doing this, when he came under our "belly" for shooting, we turned on the landing lights (the tail number was printed on the doors of the front leg of the chassis next to the headlights) and in the picture he got a continuous illumination. Sometimes they even gestured for permission to take a photo. True, it was in those times that are well shown in the Soviet film "Case in the square 36-80" By the way, our regiment also took part in the filming of this film.

A Tu-13 was shown in the film with an onboard 16, I can't say anything about it. I served on the Tu-95 RC. But we also had a plane with tail number "13" in the regiment for some time

[WUA 518]

There was a case, I don’t remember which regiment in Kupino or in Dombarovka. The guys drew an ace of spades on the MiG-23 sapling crest. Ankylite crest is released after take-off, and it is necessary to skip the regiment to the UPC. Wow and there was a scream!

If the Americans called the place of accumulation of Soviet submarines "hornet's nest", today, in order to confuse everyone, they must name the place of interception of their aircraft in the airspace of the Russian Federation - a barrel of saury. These Yankees, such inventors!

"The incident took place on April 21 in Northeast Asia, not far from the Kamchatka Peninsula. According to officials of the US Department of Defense, Russia is thus again" rattling weapons. ..
As the US military specified, next to the scene of the incident is the Russian city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. A US defense official familiar with the situation stated that the MiG-31 flew very close to the P-8 - 15 meters ...
The Boeing P-8 could possibly spy on Russian submarines, in particular, on some new missile submarine in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky ...

When will our new anti-submarine aircraft based on the Tu-204SM appear, for example? All the same, it's time to change the IL-38 to something newer. The new aircraft and the range of patrols and speed and carrying capacity (more you can install a variety of equipment) is significantly higher than the IL-38.

[Tibidokh]

Are you talking about the Tu-204P? But didn’t this project close in favor of the Tu-330?

I don’t hear anything about the Tu-330, it’s essentially IL-214 (there was also an MIT program with India), the project was frozen.
In any case, there is a modern Tu-204SM aircraft (new avionics, electronics 2 crew members, etc., etc. 2010 model), on its basis it is better to revive the Tu-204P project. The aircraft is mass-produced and on its basis it will be easier to create a new anti-submarine aircraft than to design a new glider, put it into production, etc.

MS-21 will be built in large quantities for the civilian market, in this regard a lot of time can pass until the turn reaches the Moscow Region.
Tu-204SM are being built in much smaller batches and this would be a great opportunity to support the Aviastar plant with orders.

Perhaps, for the first time in recent years, US fighters intercepted an American reconnaissance aircraft by a Russian fighter as “safe and professional.”

It was necessary to bring him down, otherwise the expectations of the American "partners" were not justified. And "partners" shouldn't be disappointed!

Is interception in international space not an act of aggression leading to war? Maybe he still accompanied the scout and not intercepted? Or did I misunderstand the terms?

US complains about Russian interception of reconnaissance aircraft over Baltic
Moscow, April 17 - AIF-Moscow.
The representative of the European command of the US Armed Forces Danny Hernandez said that the US reconnaissance aircraft RC-135 was intercepted by a Russian Su-27 over the Baltic Sea, reports TASS.
Hernandez explained that the Russian plane “made erratic and aggressive maneuvers” by flying 50 feet (15 meters) from the edge of the wing of an American plane. According to him, a Russian fighter flew over an American plane.
This is what I cannot understand ... 15 meters in the Baltic and 15 meters in Kamchatka. But, over the Baltic it is unprofessional, but in Kamchatka it is normal. Or the Su-27 then decided to play around and "cut"?
