This file photo taken on April 12, 2016 shows a Russian Sukhoi Su-24 attack aircraft flying over the USS Donald Cook (DDG 75), an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, operating in the Baltic Sea. A Russian fighter jet flew dangerously close to a US spy plane over the Black Sea on September 7, 2016, coming within just 10 feet of the American aircraft, a US defense official said. Speaking on condition of anonymity ahead of a Pentagon announcement, the official said a Russian SU-27 Flanker jet had initially flown to within 30 feet (9 meters) of the P-8A Poseidon anti-submarine and intelligence plane in international airspace, before getting closer still.
