American military plane "clipped" the aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces near the borders of Syria

A U.S. Navy military aircraft conducted a dangerous maneuver near the side of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

As follows from the data provided by the Ita Mil Radar information resource, which monitors the air situation over the Mediterranean Sea, an American military plane made a dangerous maneuver near the plane of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation during the last takeoff from the Khmeimim air base. The American military aircraft was not only a short distance from the flight route of the An-124 military transport aircraft, but also headed straight for it.

“At this moment, we are monitoring interesting military activity around Syria. American aircraft are performing a surveillance mission at Russian military facilities in Syria and a Russian military transport aircraft:

  • 1 US Air Force Boeing RC-135W (62-4132) departed from Souda Bay AB on a reconnaissance mission over the eastern Mediterranean;
  • 1 US Navy Boeing P-8A (reg. Unknown) departed from Sigonella AFB on a similar mission;
  • 1 aircraft of the Russian Air Force Antonov An-124 (RA-82010) leaving the airbase in Lapatakia;"

, - the resource reports.

Judging by the presented photograph, the American military aircraft Boeing P-8 Poseidon was still at a distance of several tens of kilometers from the Russian An-124, and, obviously, did not create a threat, however, one can also notice that, hiding behind a Russian aircraft, the American Boeing P- 8 Poseidon headed straight for the Khmeimim airbase, apparently studying the operation of the radars of Russian air defense systems.
