A U.S. Navy P-8A aircraft flying in international airspace over
the Mediterranean Sea was intercepted by a Russian SU-35 over the
Mediterranean Sea. The intercept was determined to be unsafe and
unprofessional due to the SU-35 a conducting a high-speed, high-powered
maneuver that decreased aircraft separation to within 25 feet, directly in
front of the P-8A, exposing the U.S. aircraft to wake turbulence and jet
exhaust.
