Pentagon Releases Terrifying Video Of Russian Su-27 Turning Directly In Front Of A B-52

The Pentagon has released what is possibly the most troubling video we have seen of a so-called ‚unsafe intercept‘ between one of its aircraft and Russian fighters. The incident occurred on August 28th, 2020, when the U.S. Air Force sent six B-52s, four of which are forward deployed to RAF Fairford in the United Kingdom, to traverse every NATO member country’s airspace in a show of strength and solidarity for the alliance. This included flights over Eastern Europe and the tense Black Sea region, where the intercept took place. You can read all about this highly unique large-scale bomber mission in this recent War Zone piece.
