Sukhoi 27 "comes within 6 meters" of U.S. spy plane

According to the Washington Free Beacon publication, the Su-27 came within "20 feet (about six meters)" from the U.S. surveillance plane that was flying less than 50 kilometers from the Russian territory.

The Sukhoi reportedly came so close that when it turned away rapidly its thrust “disturbed the controllability” of the RC-135U.

Russian and American military officials on Thursday held a video conference - another round of consultations in a bid to ensure flight safety over Syria.

The Pentagon issued a press release afterwards, but did not mention the alleged incident over the Black Sea.
