“I’d love to see that thing in action.”

You may get your chance if Russia’s jet fighters keep buzzing our destroyers.

Its highly unlikely you will see one of these sent to buzz any foreign warship or aircraft at least for the next decade. You wouldn’t want your enemies to get a real close look (electronic surveillance) of your latest and greatest assets.

The recent buzzing of the USS Donald Cook involved SU-24s, which ceased production in 1993 — that means it would be older than most of the folks on the ship or even the pilots flying them!
