A Russian jet flew dangerously close to a U.S. reconnaissance plane operating in the Baltic Sealast week, the latest in a string of dangerous encounters with Russian forces in the region, according to the Pentagon.
The Russian aircraft, an SU-27 fighter, operated in an “unsafe and unprofessional” manner when it approached the RC-135 reconnaissance plane, the U.S. military said in a statement Saturday.
