Watch: Russian fighters harass U.S. destroyer in the Baltic - UPI.com
UPI reports: "For two days in a row, Russian fighter jets conducted several
aggressive, low-altitude passes above a U.S. Navy destroyer
participating in maritime warfare exercises in the Baltic Sea.
The USS Donald Cook was carrying out landing deck drills with partner
nation forces on April 11 when two Russian-flagged Su-24 fighter jets 'made numerous, close-range and low altitude passes' above the vessel,
according to a statement by Navy officials with U.S. European Command."
Comment: I know there are some who still dismiss the notion that Russia under Putin is trying recapture former Soviet imperial glory, but the evidence just continues to mount. The actions depicted here are best described as belligerent and confrontational.
