SU-27 shows the F-16 it's teeth and it bugs out. Not being reported in western news. NATO is trying to get us into a war with Russia by continuously poking the Bear.

Please, don't post anything taken from RT and try to post it as fact. RT is owned by the Russian government, for God's sake.
And who is the hell is NATO? One of the Baltic states protecting their sovereignty? Because the Baltic Sea is not Russia's "back yard," as much as RT would like us to believe. It's the back yard of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Sweden. Not Russia. If it was the Gulf of Finland, maybe. But then if the aircraft flew too close to Finland or Estonia I would expect an escort from the respective nation's air force. What a crock of Russian propaganda BS.

We need to let things cool down over there and maybe we'll all come out of this without being nuked. |

This isn't a big deal. It happens almost daily now. It happened almost daily throughout most of the Cold War as well. This is just business getting back to normal after a 25 year thaw.

It is well within a nation's right to police its airspace. The US did not want Estonia,Latvia and Lithuania to operate any aircraft that would be provocative to Russia so the Baltic Air Police role is done on a rotational basis by other NATO forces. At the moment it is being done by Polish F-16s,such as this one,based in Lithuania and Spanish Hornets in Estonia. The F-16 did not do anything aggressive,nor did it run in fear. |

We need to let things cool down over there and maybe we'll all come out of this without being nuked. There are other stories about what happened besides the crazy RT BS. In most reports, NATO aircraft approached an unknown trio of aircraft that did not respond to air traffic control. This is why NATO aircraft approached. I have yet to determine which nation it was, but most likely the aircraft came from Lithuania, Latvia, or Estonia, being that the Russian aircraft are reported to have originated in Kaliningrad. Perhaps they strayed too close to the coastlines of these NATO member states? I don't know, but NATO is saying it was routine. This kind of stuff is nothing new. It's been going on since the end of WWII. That's 70+ years. Russian aircraft has flown close to American and NATO aircraft for decades. |

If anyone knows what Russia really is it's the Poles. They seem to know a lot about Islam too, but that's a different thread. 
Anyway, routine interception. Been happening since the end of WWII. Nothing to see here. |

Hmmm, you're a leftist?
I'd be like Air Force One being intercepted by a SU-27. This is a new level of escalation. Fighters intercepting bombers is cool but intercepting the Russian Foreign Ministers plane over international waters with a fighter escort like an SU-27 is just asking to be shot down. |

What are the chances of SU-27's actually intercepting AF1? I'll go out on a limb here and say zero chance. I have read somewhere the President's plane is escorted by our fighters. |

Not an escalation; not anything special. Routine. As far as AF1, AF1 is pretty clearly marked and I doubt the USAF would let anything get that close to it. If the Russians responded, this probably would have never happened. |

There was probably an F-22 shadowing them from a little farther back ready to blow all the Russian planes out of the sky if the Flanker had gotten froggy
