A US Navy aircraft had an "extremely close" encounter with multiple Russian military jets over international waters in the Mediterranean this weekend, according to multiple US officials directly familiar with the US military reports of the incident.
The sources would not detail precisely how close the Russian aircraft came to the US Navy P-8 maritime patrol aircraft or where precisely the encounter occurred, but the maneuvers by the Russians were described as "unsafe and unprofessional."
"We have made our concerns known to Russian officials through diplomatic channels," said Captain Mike Kafka, the Pentagon's Director of Defense Press Operations.
