Aero-News Quote of the Day
"The unnecessary actions of the Russian Su-35 pilots were inconsistent with good airmanship and international flight rules, and jeopardized the safety of flight of both aircraft. While the Russian aircraft was operating in international airspace, this interaction was irresponsible. We expect them to operate within international standards set to ensure safety and to prevent incidents, including the 1972 Agreement for the Prevention of Incidents On and Over the High Seas (INCSEA). Actions? like these increase the potential for midair collisions."
Source: From a US Navy document describing the third altercation with Russian Fighters that endangered US personnel, needlessly, and in violation of international law. In the latest incident, foolish and misguided Russian aviators flew in an unsafe and unprofessional manner while intercepting a U.S. Navy P-8A Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Aircraft in US Sixth Fleet, May 26, 2020.
