Two Russian warplanes flew within one mile of the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier, forcing the U.S. Navy to launch four fighter jets in response Tuesday, a Navy spokesman told Fox News.

Show offy but all of those Russian pilots know that that ship could have blown every one of them out of the sky without sending one aircraft off the deck.
I would be more impressed if they buzzed the White House : )
I would hope that the Russians were escorted by our carrier rather than free to buzz because of a slow response.
My question would be is “WHY was this allowed to happen in the first place”? If an Aircraft Carrier cannot protect itself better than this then perhaps we have the wrong folks in charge?
Obama probably thought this meant they dropped off some pot.
Bumpity
Our swabbies were on alert and smirked at the Russian “planes”.
My children’s balsa-wood gliders were as effective.
Within 1 mile is a buzzing?
The USS Ronald Reagan? The irony of that would be lost on Obama, but not the rest of the country!
Obama would just think about all the money he could save and then use somewhere else if The USS Ronald Reagan was sunk
Absolutely-—we have the wrong folks in charge.
The same cabal that funded WWI and Lenin and Trotsky and WWII (Hitler and the muslims) to get filthy wealthy, create global government by creating chaos and hate and putting puppets in charge of nations, and to kill off the virile, healthy, independent, smart male population (Patton-types),
That thing in the White House and all his Marxist czars are the sodomite satanists’ puppets promoting their vile worldview to all the children through unjust, evil “laws” to collapse civil society and create “happy slaves”.
They were bear bombers which are very noisy and probably picked up from very long away the were shadowed by F-18 hornets but letting it get within one mile is dangerous of coarse if we shoot them down it becomes an incident. Same stuff happened all the time during the cold war.
I jog longer distances.
Remember the improved relations with Russia
that came as a result of the reset button?
Me neither.
Except ... it didn't.
And each of those Russian pilots could have delivered a debilitating, if not lethal, blow to that ship.
Which do you think is more likely to hit the other first?
One good thing about these stand off with Russia and china its keeps our boys frosty, alert status!
Poking, prodding, testing, etc.
