Video footage released by the Russian ministry of Defense features moment a Russian-made Sukhoi-27 intercepting a large american military aircraft over the Baltic.

Russian Su-27 fighter jet has intercepted and escorted an American RC-135 spy plane over the waters of the Baltic Sea near the Russian border, the Defense Ministry has said, releasing a short video of the engagement.

The statement said that “after the Russian Sukhoi approached its target, the American military aircraft flew away from the Russian border, as the Su-27 fighter returned to its airbase safely.”

The Russian Defense Ministry has repeatedly called on Washington to abandon such activities, that the Pentagon has not yet responded to.
