2nd Unprofessional Interaction by Russian Aircraft over the Mediterranean Sea in Four Days.

A U.S. Navy P-8A aircraft flying in international airspace over the Mediterranean Sea was intercepted by a Russian SU-35 over the Mediterranean Sea. The intercept was determined to be unsafe and unprofessional due to the SU-35 a conducting high-speed, high-powered maneuver that decreased aircraft separation to within 25 feet, directly in front of the P-8A, exposing the U.S. aircraft to wake turbulence and jet exhaust.
