A Russian Air Force MiG-31 jet intercepted a US spy plane near Kamchatka in Russia’s Far East last week, flying within 15 meters of the aircraft, the Russia Today reported.
Washington downplayed the incident, saying it was carried out in a “safe and professional” manner.
“On April 21, a US Navy P-8 Maritime Patrol reconnaissance aircraft flying a routine mission in international airspace was intercepted by a MiG-31 Russian jet in the vicinity of the Kamchatka Peninsula,” Cmdr. Dave Benham, a spokesman for the Pacific Command, told the Washington Free Beacon.
However, rather than kicking up a fuss, Benham added that the maneuver was carried out in a “safe and professional” manner.
