Cool & Crazy... Russian Fighter Jet Buzzes US F-16 Fighter Within 50 Feet off The Coast of Alaska

Cockpit footage released by the North American Aerospace Defense Command shows a Russian warplane closely buzzing by a U.S. F-16 fighter jet last week—a move U.S. officials have publicly called out as dangerous and unsafe.
“On Monday Sept. 23, NORAD aircraft flew a safe and disciplined intercept of Russian military aircraft in the Alaskan [air defense identification zone]. The conduct of one Russian Su-35 was unsafe, unprofessional, and endangered all—not what you’d see in a professional air force,” Gen. Gregory Guillot, head of NORAD and U.S. Northern Command, said in a statement Monday.
The footage shows the Russian fighter maneuvering into the F-16’s path. The Russian fighter jet was one of two Su-35s that were escorting two Russian Tu-95 bombers in Alaska’s air defense identification zone, a stretch of international airspace near North America. Russian aircraft fly in this airspace often, but the closeness of this encounter, and video release, is notable.
Guillot has recently called for more domain awareness in the Arctic region, after Russian and Chinese aircraft were intercepted this summer in Alaska’s ADIZ. NORAD officials said those aircraft came as close as 200 miles from the U.S. coast.

«If you care, Russia is a small pile of dog shit compared to the mighty USA.
Russia can't even invade or conquer a much smaller country that is almost unarmed compared to the cowardly Russians.»

«@watchful that maneuver is what we military pilots call a blind turn- you can't see shit in that configuration -only asshole newbies do that shit. On average, Russian pilots get 1/10 the stick time that NATO pilots get., Russian pilots are pretty shitty- all mouth and no experience...»

«@southgate The canopy was facing F16 while in a roll so the Russian pilot can clearly see the other jet. He was also traveling at much higher rate of speed so it doesn't matter when he lose sight.»

«@southgate Yeah. Just take a look at the captured russian pilots in Ukraine. They all look like obese, alcoholic 50yo guys. Western pilots are all young and extremely good shape.»
